That's exactly the setup my local store has now. The
cashier does the bagging while ringing up your stuff.
It's all one step now and I guess you could call them
cashier/baggers.

It used to be they pushed the items along to then be
bagged, either by the customer, or they'd do it after
ringing up the order. Sometimes there was a bagger, but
usually not.

I always did my own bagging then, rather than stand there
like the Queen waiting for someone else to do it. It seems
to be a regional type thing, baggers aren't a given the way
it is elsewhere. I imagine a store would do well to bag groceries
in areas where it's customary.
