Depends on the store, but most have plastic baggies you can put around your meat products so they don't leak on everything else. It's up to the customer to use them though.

If it's hamburger meat in a sealed container though, and your fruit is in bags as well (I always put my fruit in bags), then there really is no chance of cross contamination.

I'd be more worried if she put the meat (heavy) on top of the fruit (easily bruised), not so much if they are in the same bag though.

Certainly wouldn't complain about it, unless you specifically asked to have them in a different bag and she ignored you or something. I'm quite sure they are not trained to put meat/fruit in different bags (actually doubt they get much training at all).

No reason to ruin someones day with a bad review though, if it really bothers you, go to the customer service center and talk to a manager about changing their policy (or ensuring that their baggers know the policy if that already is the case). That will let you fix the problem without singling anyone out.

That is what I would do probably (and have done for other things in the past). Bagging is a hard enough/thankless job as it is, no reason to make it worse for someone.
