Why is it that every time I go to a store or fast-food restaurant, everybody wants to give me a bag to put my stuff in? Example: Today I bought a birthday card at Walgreens. A thin, average birthday card. After I paid for it, the guy put it in a big plastic bag. The kind you get at the supermarket. I said, “It’s ok, I don’t need a bag.� and he looked at e like I was crazy. It’s not like it was raining outside or anything; it was nice out. But this guy was Quick-draw with the plastic bags.
So then, as I’m coming upstairs to the office, I stop in at the little store and buy some Naked Juice and a Kit-Kat, and again, the lady whipped out a paper bag like some ninja. I’m like, “Whoa, I don’t need a bag, I going to drink it right now”, and again I got a look like I was the crazy one. These people; don’t they know that if they don’t give a bag for everything, then they are actually saving money? Not much money, but it adds up.
Anyway, next time you buy something small or insignificant, see how they react when you tell them you don’t need a bag. Then tell them you are saving them cash. See if they care; cuz they won’t.
Not only are you saving them cash…you are also saving our environment! Less bags=Less trash. You get a gold star from mother nature and those stupid grocery baggers get a lump of coal. (Santa’s not the only guy with that trick up his sleeve)
Are you calling me insignificant?
I weep.
Montez: Take the bag. If you don’t waste it, somebody else will. Might as well be you!
