What's my age got to do with it? They do it for everyone. I certainly
*could* do it if none of the grocery stores had baggers, but they all
do. They always have, regardless of my age. When I was 22 I lived in
midtown Memphis. I used to *walk* to the small grocery store down the
block and walk back home carrying a couple of bags of groceries... which
they bagged for me. I've never encountered a grocery store where they
didn't have someone do this for their customers. <shrug>
