Motions
Before I could say anything, the checker swiftly puts the batch of banana’s in a plastic bag. Was that necessary? Great, now I’m walking out with this stupid plastic bag holding a single item that could have very well been carried out on it’s own. Motivation: empty. Let: down.
At least show some courtesy and ask if I would like paper, or better yet ask if I need a bag for this item. Isn’t this called moderation? I’m guessing other shoppers (some more than others) would have a similar reaction, “No thank you, I’m good as is.”
What about when going through the drive thru and getting thrown a handful of condiments & napkins on your way out. Most of that “stuff” ends up staying in the fast food bag and getting dumped as “trash” anyway. I guess this is a part of growing up, thinking of where stuff ends up.

i make a point not to offer people bags. im still amazed when people still ask for plastic bags, or any bags for that matter. especially when the two things they brought up with their two hands could thus be carried out with their two hands.
ive gotten into the groove of thinking twice as a merchant and customer. but only because ive seen it from both sides. paper and plastic bags arent cheap for the merchant, either.
break the habit. use yer nog. use your hands. or your own bag.
