No plastic. Write in down.

I show up to the supermarket with a thousand reusable cloth bags.  I not only don't want to add to the plastic bag problem in the Pacific Ocean, but I also find the cloth bags easier to handle.

Yet EVERY TIME the bagger holds up every other item and says 'Do you want plastic for this?'

So you suggest I go in a checkout WITHOUT a bagger?  I do.  Every time.  Then they see me and run over just to question me about plastic bags.

So you then suggest I should ANNOUNCE to the checkout when I arrive that I do not want any plastic under any circumstance?  I do.  Or I should say, I used to.  BUT these people STILL hold up various items and ask if that particular item should go in the plastic.  And because I made the initial announcement, my blood boils at their stupidity.  So I stopped.

I know I just need to accept this... but I'm grumpy today.

(FYI - Lest you think I am buying all kinds of weird sticky foodstuff, I am not!)
