How much should I tip commissary (grocery) baggers?

Rather than by how much I spent, I usually consider how many bags I have and if they did a decent job bagging.

I usually tip around $3 unless it's a big order (holidays, graduation party, family BBQ, etc) and then I would up it to $5 or $7.

FYI for Someone: Baggers at military commissaries are not employees of the commissary - they work for tips only. Most are teenagers that have a parent in the military, military spouses, and retirees.

Here in Okinawa, you're not required to tip but I usually give 1 or 2 dollars. It is fair but if it is less than $25 or so, then it's overly generous or not even necessary.

i've never even heard of tipping the grocery bagger.

wow... $5? Let me know when u shop!

I'll carry the bags for you AND do a little dance at the end!
