These guys also had a regular wage, so their tips were extra.

You are expected to tip the baggers at the DOD military commissaries....except at Ft. Leavenworth. Most bases hire military dependents (spouses and teenage kids) as baggers. They draw no wage at all. Leavenworth commissary baggers are inmates from the Disciplinary Barracks.

Not any more. With the new prison there, they no longer use inmates to bag the groceries. In fact, my son was a bagger there all thru high school when we lived there.
