Please step AWAY from the bag!

Excuse me while I get my rant on. WTF is up with the cashiers that get snippy when you refuse a plastic bag? I am pretty good about taking my reusable bags into the store with me but when I only need one or 2 items then why bother? I really am not a purse carrier so one of the tiny fold and take reusable bags that you toss in your purse does not work for me. I just keep my bags in the trunk and grab whatever I need before I go in. (and no, I am not sticking one in my pocket. My arse is big enough as it is thankyouverymuch)

On Friday, I went into an unnamed store (starts with K, ends in ls and has an OH in the center) just to get a pair of regular ol jeans for Chuck. No need for one of my bags from the trunk right? At checkout, the young plastic pushing clerk decides to get snippy when I inform her that I do not need a bag. I swear I smiled all nice and everything. She tells me that she is not allowed to. Then she shoves the jeans into a plastic bag and hands it to me. I smile again to show that I am a nice person and I understand her minimum wage plight but no way was I taking the damned bag. Three times we went over it.

Finally we ended our conversation when I slipped the jeans out of the bag and walked out the door with my receipt in hand.

I will stop now.
