SPOKANE, Wash. — A Spokane clerk is Washington state's "Best Bagger" champion.
Eighteen-year-old Emma Beeler, a courtesy clerk with Super 1 Foods in Spokane, beat out four other contestants and won $2,000 Thursday at the 2023 Best Bagger Competition at the Aurora Borealis Event Center in Shoreline.
Now, she will represent the state at the 2024 National Grocers Association Best Bagger Championship in Las Vegas.
“We are thrilled to once again host this fun and fast-paced event, featuring some of the best baggers from stores all over Washington state,” said Tammie Hetrick, president and CEO of the Washington Food Industry Association. “Courtesy clerks are important members of any grocery store team. They provide customers with a lasting impression of the store by ensuring their groceries arrive home safely. Many of these clerks are students or working parents who help earn money for school or family extras. We’re glad to showcase their talents and give them a chance to shine.”
A student at Spokane Falls Community College, Beeler works part-time at Super 1 Foods in the Manito Shopping Center. The national championship takes place this March and the winner will take home $10,000 in cash.
