WEST JORDAN — For one West Jordan woman, a world record is in the bag.
After working at a Utah Macey's grocery store for more than two years, Erika Jensen has been recognized as the world's best bagger. Jensen was judged on speed, weight distribution, dress and appearance in a Las Vegas competition.
