My co-worker told me yesterday he went to a store to buy something and when he got to the checkregister he was asked this question. He responded, well, I definitely don’t want to go green so I’ll take the bag. I feel like this is such a loaded question. Do you want to be moral or do you want to use evil dirty earth destroying plastic bags? I think if someone asked me this question, I would give them the finger. As you may remember from my previous post, I don’t like the fight against the plastic bags. I use plastic bags I get from the store as trash bags. Either I buy them or I use the free ones. My use of plastic bags doesn’t change under either option.

Ugh, so annoying.
I actually have started doing that wherever I go. If I can carry it, I don’t get a bag. But if the person asked me that question, I undoubtedly would take the bag just to spite their self-righteousness. I can’t believe they asked that! Haha.
That’s a lame question. We use plastic bags to dispose of diapers. Sometimes when we are out, I will actually ask the grocer to double-bag some of our groceries so we can get more. However, I am also like Eric. If I can easily carry my items out of the store, then I avoid the bag.
Plastic bag for sure!
