seriously. when, or if, they bring groceries to your car and help you put them in your car...

are you supposed to tip? or send them on their way with a 'thank you?'

one time my aunt gave $1...i thought that was unusual.

$0, because my groceries usually consist of a bag with a pound of beef, a couple packs of ramen and a few bottles of tonic.

Not to mention there is no such person at any Richmond area stores.

There are a lot of stores in the northern parts of the state that say "Do not tip the grociery boys" or something of that sort. I knew some guys that used to do it (the job,) and they were specifically told to NOT accept tips.

I worked as a bagger too when I was in high school. I dont remember if we were allowed to accept tips or not, but I usually refused them. Unless the customer was persistant about it, then I accept it.
