Each of us regularly visits markets, small shops and large supermarkets. And if, when purchasing goods at points belonging to the first two categories, we usually do not find fault with the work of sellers, then in the latter case, everything is different.
A few days ago, I decided to make a major purchase. Of course, for this purpose I went to a large supermarket famous in our city. Standing in line at the checkout, I became an involuntary witness to a dispute between a seller and a young girl. A supermarket employee categorically refused to put what was bought into a package. The girl, with notes of arrogance, tried to convey to him the idea that this was his work, for which he regularly receives a salary.
It's time for me to think too. Before, I didn’t care who put the products in a bag. In some outlets, employees do this, but most often I did this. And I really wanted to know which of the parties to the dispute is right. I decided to share the results with you, so that each of you knows how to behave in a similar situation.
Normative base
I wanted to know if there is a law according to which sellers are obliged to put food and non-food products in bags or other containers. Perhaps many of you I will disappoint. But there is no such law. According to the existing regulatory framework, the seller only has to transfer goods of appropriate quality to the buyer. For example, the products must be fresh, the condition of the secondary packaging should also not be satisfactory.

The seller’s obligations end with you at the very moment when you fully paid for your purchase. And then you yourself have the right to decide whether you carry the goods in a package or in your hands. You are also not obliged to purchase a package, you can come to the supermarket every time with your “string bag”. In a word, there is no point in arguing with sellers and forcing them to fold purchases. They are not required to do this.
What goods is the cashier required to put in the bag?
As we know, the package in which all purchases are supposed to be put together must be purchased for money. But some of us get it for free. And now we are talking about thin plastic bags of small size.
First, they should be provided free of charge. Secondly, the cashier is obliged to add certain groups of goods in them. These include: household chemicals, hosiery, underwear, accessories, fruits, vegetables, weight products, and those sold without secondary packaging (for example, smoked fish).
Products that might stain other products should also be packaged in small bags. A vivid example is the herring in a jar, because a small amount of oil can leak out even from the minimum gap between the jar and the lid.
Thus, the cashier is obliged to store a certain product only in small plastic bags?
