plastic bags

I work in a store where we buy plastic bags by the million. It’s assumed that nearly every customer will take one and I HATE THEM!

The majority of people don’t even need them. They have a leather bag that you could probably fit a young boy in and yet they ask for a plastic bag for two batteries! It seems everybody in the shire is more worried about their manicure getting ruined or the 4 second journey back to the car then they are about the environment.

If a customer asks for a bag and they already have 8 half empty ones, I’ve taken to throwing there stuff in the bag whilst quite obviously death staring their other bags.
It’s a little sad how I get offended if somebody asks for a plastic bag now, I feel like they are betraying the environment. What probably sadder though is that I seriously have to hold back from jumping over the counter and hugging someone when they buy an environmental one.
