      Also, trust myself better.

      I have some soft bread, I at least know I won’t put something heavy on it.

      I have some items that are fragile, I can keep track of them packing and keep them separate.

      I won’t end up single-bagging a bunch of stuff that could be bagged together (e.g. if they scanned some window cleaner, they bag it separate, not knowing that some dishwasher detergent is coming that it could be packed with).

      Got some product with a markdown barcode? I can be sure the discounted barcode gets scanned not the full price one.

      To the extent possible, I can also just skip bagging most of the time. If I have some very small things sure I might use a bag, but mostly I just scan and put in cart.

        Not that it is foolproof but unloading your cart in an organized manner helps with that. Though maybe you’re talking about helpless baggers, I’ve seen plenty of both clueless baggers and customers who toss things onto the belt willy-nilly.
