Brady Long just won $10,000—by bagging groceries.
Mr. Long works at Buehler’s Fresh Foods in Medina, Ohio. He just competed in the National Grocers Association’s Best Bagger championship in Las Vegas. He competed against nearly two dozen others.
Baggers in the contest had to be fast. They had to have good technique and fill bags evenly. They also had to have a good attitude. Good grocery bagging is important to stores. Storeowners want people to leave the store feeling happy and well served so they will come back.
Mr. Long already has plans for his prize money. He’s buying a new car.
