Is it just me? It couldn't be...

Just moments ago, at Star Market...


bagger: Paper or Plastic?

me: I don't care. Just as long as it's all in one bag

bagger: Paper then. It's easier to carry.

me: Sounds good. Then I can let the fruit ripen in it when I get home.

bagger: Yeah, that's a good idea.




But what did I walk away with?


.78 lbs nectarine white
.85 lbs nectarines
.68 lbs pluots
(that's 2 pieces of each, for those of you who don't speak scale)

2 jars of Ragu Super Chunky Mushroom

and 6 (charged for 7) Dannon newly tiny yogurts (that I may feel compelled to complain about later)

...INSIDE A PAPER BAG WHICH WAS ITSELF INSIDE ANOTHER BAG !!
TWO BAGS !!

Yes, it was lovely and easy to carry, but I didn't have that far to go. One bag would have been sufficient; foolhardy or not, it was what I asked for.

Why do the baggers always think they know what's best for me? OR... Maybe they do! Maybe I should go back there and get relationship and career advice from the baggers who know best.

I think I will.
