Lack of military ID costs baggers their jobs at an off-base commissary
Baggers are not employees, but are contracted to bag and load groceries into customers' cars for tips. Some have been doing it for decades, making a living off the gratuity.
On Saturday, 43 out of about 100 baggers were let go because they did not have the proper identification, said Agnes Tauyan, Navy spokeswoman.
She said the commissary is enforcing Department of Defense policy, which requires carrying a military ID to work at the commissary, and gave the volunteers weeks of notice to comply.
She said officials reviewed the program after receiving several complaints that some baggers did not have military identification cards. The commissary is not on base.
