How much?

[decemberrain]

When you shop at the commissary how much do you usually tip the bagger? I was just wondering what the standard usually is.

What people tip varies. I typically spend between $100--$135/trip and I tip between $6 & $8.

If it is a quick pick-up but more than I care to ring up myself, I tip $2-$4, depending upon how much, my mood and the friendliness of the bagger.

I usually pay with my card and just get 5 cash back and give it to the bagger. But I know they only get paid in tips so I feel like 5 bucks is a little low. H says people tip all day so our 5$ adds up for them. BUT I think people are lame and usually tip low. So I figured I'd see what everyone else had to say.

I tip $5. I figure that's good pay for 10 minutes of work.

I don't let them load my car up so 2 dollars. I'm cheap like that but only spend 50$ for two weeks. When I pick up random items through the weeks I do self check out and do not tip.

It's been a while since I shopped at the commissary, but I usually tipped about .25/plastic bag or /.50 per fabric reusable bag. Ish. It usually ended up being somewhere in the range of $3-5 for a week's groceries for two.

But, I don't use the commissary here. Costco and Walmart are each 2 miles from my front door. The commissary is 10+ miles, and much of that thru crappy, crappy, unpredictable traffic (so it can take 15 minutes to get home, or 60, no knowing until I'm in the middle of it).
