I do the same thing. Once in a while, the counter agent will say to me something along the lines of, "Don't worry, sir, we'll take care of your bag." Then what I do is walk away but stay within sight while the agent goes on to the next customer. I stay there and watch until I see the bag actually put on the belt.
