View Full Version : Why does the bagger at my grocery store wear a helmet?

I'm serious. He wears a helmet all the time. He looks like he's in his 30s, is of slight build which makes him look like a jockey. Not to sound mean, but he doesn't seem like he's 100% either. He never works the register....just bags groceries.

I'm thinking that perhaps he has seizures, so it's for his protection. Any other possibilities?

Janice

Does he ever deliver groceries?
I don't know that. The store does have a delivery service, but they deliver by vans.

He Obviously rides the shopping carts after store hours and needs protection From Injury. Thats what I'd do.

You mean, like he has a fixation with wearing a helmet? I never thought of that.

No, he could be like skitzo and think one of his personalities is a professional bike rider...or have an unnatural fear of earthquakes...who knows.

Maybe he doesn't bag the groceries very well and the helmet is protection from dissatisfied old ladies who wack him on the head with frozen French bread.

He got hit in the head when he got robbed in the store and he doesn't want it to happen again.

My husband is bad. He'll call him Lance Armstrong. Not to his face of course, but while we're walking to our car, he'll say, "I'm glad Lance did the bagging today".

Another time, it's "I wonder if super jockey's got an inside tip on this year's Kentucky Derby".

Yeah, I said he's bad. :crazy:

I remember when I was in Disney World, I saw a group of what seemed to be mentally challenged people, and one of them was walking around with a really old school football helmet. I'm guessing it was because he didn't always have control over what he did, and needed the protection for it.

He probably suffers from narcolepsy.

Making fun of him is not only politically incorrect, but just mean.




Unless of course he's just an idiot who thinks he's funny for wearing a helmet.
Then you should just run him over with your shopping cart.

When I was little a girl in my class had to wear a special helmet all of the
time,I think it because she had very poor motor coordination and couldn't
control her balance. Maybe that's the same thing wrong with him
or could be something else. I don't really know :(

Most likely a medical condition like the original poster thought . Seizures? Nice that the grocery store hires handicapped individuals . :)

I'm nosy , I probably would politely just ask the manager at the service desk , the guy with the helmet out of earshot !;)
