I've been searching online the definitions of 'fragments' I got this from

Fragment: A fragment is an alter that is not fully differentiated or developed. Fragments may exist to carry out a single function or job, to hold a single memory or emotion, or to represent a single idea. Depending on the way that individual systems use the term, a fragment might be any alter that could not survive if left on its own or that could not pass for a fully developed individual without the help of other alters. Fragments usually have not been exposed to enough complex, different, or interactive experiences to incorporate more into their sense of self and so become more developed and differentiated. It is possible for fragments to develop into more elaborate alters if the need arises or with further use.

The reason I consider Alex a fragment is because she only switches out at places like work. If I cannot concentrate at work yet I find myself doing the job without being connected to it, it's her there with me but with the control of the body. She also has helped with other ADL's, but without emotion. She hasn't ever hinted at having a history of her own, which is unlike most of the others in this system.
So to answer your question, it's possible that a fragment in your system is responsible for only handling the supermarket, etc.
