This is why you should pay cash, folded in half, and in awkward denominations as it can give you those few extra seconds to finish bagging while the cashier puts the bills away and gathers the change :)

By now I'm quite efficient, haha.

Heavy stuff in the beginning, fragile stuff at the back, from large to small (so that I bag the heavy and large stuff in the bottom and then fragile and small I squeeze in carefully).

I recently heard of a tip from people who become anxious at the cashiers: Fruits and veggies at the end, because often they need to weigh it and sometime also input numbers manually, this gives those extra few seconds at the end.
