Well it doesn't! It already tends to be arranged structurally in the  
trolley or basket so it's just a case of regrouping it on the conveyor.  
Call it a matter of practice I don't think there's any reason everybody  
shouldn't do this.

Exactly, which is why you can't split things by the simple heavy/light  
description. You also have to take into account how you'll be carrying  
these things or packing them in the car. Put the bread at the top of a  
carrier and hold the handles and you may be squeezing only the top section  
of the bread so it's best sitting in the middle or upright down the side  
depending on what could be going on top of it.
