But, if there are people waiting, we say something to the effect of "If you'd like, I can bag those for you as soon as I'm done helping the next person/people in line." Then people either wait, or they say, "Nah," and they take off and do it themselves later. As for Conner, those bags and boards may be cheap, but they're not free, especially the boards. Our store charges twenty cents per bag/board combo, or you can get 100 bags and boards for $13.99. It' so much cheaper by the hundred because there's no labor involved in putting them together.

How rude is that? I bag and board in the privacy of my own home, but what the hell do I know? Obviously not as much as the previous comment author.

Bags and boards are crazy cheap. Do you work at one of those shops that actually charge people a dime or quarter for every bag and board? Because that is shiesty and you don't seem like a shiester. Look, I know every shop is different. At mine the owner has a program in the computer that scans the UPC code and inputs it into a system keeping track of how many are bought and who has bought them. Then in turn he can offer suggestions as to what else you might like or tell you if you are missing a particular issue. Then he bags them up all nice for me, (flap at the bottom for asthetic reasons when you box them up) and I tell him see you next week. I then leave said shop feeling warm and happy and fulfilled and look forward to coming back. Besides, if this bag and board problem is such to make you type about it in capital letters, why don't you just move the bags and boards near you so they can bag them up themselves after you check them out? Why don’t you just bag them for the people after you scan them or input the price?
