maybe then you should come back from retirement shrug

He left holding the bag

My dad bag-boyed his way through college, and after that would never let anyone else bag his groceries. He was a master-packer, that’s for sure. We never had a broken egg or a crushed bag of chips.

60 years ago, when I was in the boy scouts, we use to help bag groceries at the local A&P grocery store. Then we would carry them out to their car.

Wow, 3 generations of bag boys. talk about being left holding the bag.

Bag boy school. Where you learn to pile the cans on the bread just right.

Stick with it Todd!

Attaboy Todd…..never give up!!

The sign is spot on..

I was a bag boy at a military PX run by my Mom. We worked only for tips, which became illegal, so now there are no bag boys at the PX.

Why back in my bag boy days we didn’t have plastic bags with handles! And we liked it!!

Who’s baggin’ whom?

He knew Jack Kennedy

And they were able to buy a house and raise a family of 15 on that single salary

Mom made us bag the groceries when we went shopping with her. We were good, we sorted by what went where, what didn’t need a bag, and heavy on the bottom light on the top, perfectly balanced. I still bag my groceries. Don’t want the cashiers to do it. They have enough to do as it is!
