Shopping Baskets


When you reach the checkstand line and are using a hand basket, typically you unload the basket when you reach the belt and stack the baskets at the beginning of the belt. But that seems inefficient.



Instead, I think that I should just be able to place the basket onto the moving belt. The checker can then unload the basket as the items are scanned and take the basket. That way the items are handled just once, and the baskets are in a more convenient place to be picked up by another employee.


I am full of good ideas. Maybe I should write Safeway a letter.

  1. Wouldn't the checker then have to do a minuscule amount of more work by having to unload your basket?

    The hell you say.
