In my local Co-op I bag at the same time as scanning. This seems to be most efficient.

In my local Iceland (yes, shock, I shop in Iceland) I bag only after finishing scanning. The reason is that the weighing mechanism does not seem to be well calibrated and adding my own bags to the process seems to cause it repeated confusion and seriously slows down the process.

So someone who seems like a "d!psh!t" may just be experienced and has worked out the most efficient way of working.

Within this, it can also depend on one's profile of purchases. Some types of item seem to cause more problems than others, as do reduced items (depending on shop procedures).
I was thinking the exact same thing! Most of the self service tills I use get very confused if I put my bag on the till first and proceed to load it. Much quicker to bag at the end!
