Do you organize the order of your groceries in the checkout line? (lemmy.world)

I'm just wondering what the title asks: do you organize your groceries in the order you will check them out, if doing self-checkout, or arrange them on the belt/counter in a standard checkout line, in the hope that they'll be bagged in a specific way?

I didn't know there was any other way people do it, but just learned some people prefer to checkout/bag without pre-arranging things. I'm kind of curious to see what's more common, or if there's some other options I haven't considered?

Heavy items such as milk goes in first, so that they will also be at the bottom of my backpack. Light and fragile things, such as salad goes last.

My recommendation is to wait until you get home to make the salad. That way you’re not eating a big salad out of a backpack in the park like a crazy person.

Definitely drink milk from the bottom of your bag though, that's fine and normal.

One trick I've learned over the years is that it doesn't matter what order you pour your milk into your backpack in. It will always end up at the bottom.

Strange. I always access the milk from the top.

Check your backpack’s orientation
