text: how much to tip baggers at the commissary? i never know how much to tip.  someone told me she tips $1 for every two bags but that is just ridiculous in my opinion. at the express lane i had 2 bags and threw 50 cents in the tip box and the bagger gave me a dirty look and said a snotty "well, thank you". god i hate grocery shopping. the baggers at my commissary always give dirty looks, regardless of how much you tip them. i give them $1 if i carry my own bags out and $2 if they do it for me. if they don't like it, they can find another job. tipping them too much defeats the purpose of the lower prices and no sales tax.
