Tipping the bagger

I shop at the Commissary, those military will know.
Well its like pretty much a Meijer, Super Walmart, Glens, Farmer Jack, etc. etc.
Anyways they have baggers there, and a big red sign above that says
"Baggers work for tips only, thank you"

Now normally it wouldn't be bad if you had the option of choosing a bagger or not. But each lane has a mandatory bagger, who refuses you to bag your own grocery, nor allow you to take it out (push a cart) to your car by yourself. Then wait impatiently watching as you load the groceries into your car, only to stick around pissy until tipped...

Now I can see a benefit to this if you were a pregnant female or an old person. But I am in the military and I would think that I am in physical shape to bag and god forbid push a shopping cart to my car.

Normally I would tip if I had requested to have a bagger in the first place. However given the situation that you are forced a bagger that either pays a guilt trip on you or gives you a hard time about it...
I must say I have subcumbed to just forking out a few bucks to just get the hell outta the parking lot now...

What do you guys think?

 
I tipped the bagger the last time I went to the comissary - but that's just because I was buying some stuff for a squadron picnic and couldn't haul all the crap out to the truck I was driving by myself. Plus - the bagger was cute, so that's got to be worth a few bucks 😛

Every other time, though, I take my groceries to my own car.

How do you manage to take your own groceries out to your car by yourself?
I swear my wife hates grocery shopping now after our commissary experiences.

I live by myself - my weekly grocery shopping list consists of rum, juice, soy milk, bread, wheat thins, and the occassional lunchmeat and peanutbutter or jelly 😛
