This is a picture after lugging bike and groceries 3 flights into my apartment after my first grocery run. I also used my back pack for a few things. I wasn't happy that the bag boy couldn't pack properly. Our grocery store has had a 10/$10 sale going on the Fruit Naturals cups. So he put all of those in the bottom, THEN stacked my half gallon of milk and big tub of yogurt on top. I had the repack it all.
What I typically do to avoid this particular situation is to use my own reusable bags and pack my own. Saves time and makes it a lot easier. The reusable bags I have are a bit taller than the normal brown paper bag.
