idk about clocking in but for bagging:
frozen foods go together
cold drinks go together
bread and eggs go in a seperate bag
boxes go together
never put something that can be smashed with something heavy in the same bag
hope i helped (:

I used to sack groceries back in the day.
Put cold and frozen items together. Produce together, but it is ok to put it in with refrigerated items.
I would sack meat only with meat. That is in case if it leaks blood, it won't leak on any other food.
Sack eggs and bread together- of course eggs on bottom. If they only get either eggs or bread, sack the item alone- these are fragile goods.
NEVER put chemicals of any sort in with food.
Put baking soda in sacks with dry goods and canned goods- it absorbs odor from that which surrounds it. They may want it for their fridge, but you don't want it to smell like onion or something in case they are buying it to brush their teeth.
Don't fill a sack with canned goods. Spread them about between dry goods. But if they don't have a lot of things, you can put them in the bottom of any sack, except I would advise against putting them with eggs, bread, and chemicals.
As for things such as clocking in, never be afraid to ask. It's better to feel foolish for having to ask than looking foolish because you didn't.
It doesn't sound stupid to ask how to do your job correctly.
As for wanting to like your job, get to know some of your co-workers and customers.
Always ask your customers how they are and tell them to have a nice day when they leave.
Once you get to know the people you work with and the frequent shoppers, it's easier to make your job fun. A fun job is less of a job.

Group similar things together. Don't make the bags too heavy [don't put a lot of stuff inside] because depending on the material of the bag [paper or plastic] it can break. Plastic is easier to break so it's best you don't put a lot of stuff in the bag or make it too heavy. If it's you don't want the person to have a lot of bags, double bag so the bag is harder to break.
When you first get there & need to clock in, ask another employee to show you. I'm pretty sure they won't mind helping you out a bit so don't be afraid to speak up & ask. I'm sure over the time you're working there you'll make friends with the other employees. So there's nothing to be scared of.

ok, lets start with how to bag griceries... basically just try to put thinhs that you see that go together into the bags. you know> grouping... With a few days of doing it you'll get the hang and a few tricks of how to bag things and evrything.
But most importantly that i want to tell you, is to go to where you work, if you could a little early, and try t talk to someone from human resources.. or even the manages if you must! You just started working there! They need to at least teach you how to clock in! its your right! you need proper trining.. no matter what you do!
And if you still need help after that, or have questions or something, ask co-workers. Don't be shy =) ok? =)
Good luck! =)
hope it gets better!
