(USA) Is It Rude To Ask To Bag Your Own Groceries? (beehaw.org)

Is there some rule that employees have to follow that doesn't allow customers to bag? Or is it just that they're incentivized to offer? I'd love some input from people who have worked in some of the bigger companies. For reference, I mostly use Publix.

Ah that's fair, I actually liked bagging groceries when I was an actual courtesy clerk, unless the person was SUPER anal about how things got bagged. Like damnit I know it's meats separate from veg separate from cleaning products and heavy to light from top to bottom!!! Don't kill my vibe! Lol. I think it was more bothersome as a cashier to bag groceries, I'm super fast at cashiering so if it's 3+ bags that will need to be done and the person is done paying and just staring at me the whole time....I just don't get it. I'm a huge fan of efficiency though so maybe that's more of a me thing
