A bagboy is the kid who puts the groceries in your cart. I don't know what a fing is.
thanks....as for a fing ..the sentence was : people r giving me a fing essay a bout why they prefer paper to plastic.
Perhaps it means giving you a finger essay.
Fingers don't fing; grocers don't groce. Sorry, probably slang, but I couldn't find it nor put my finger on it.

In that sentence, 'fing' is simply a form of the F-word. Probably pronounced 'eff-ing'.
