This happens to me almost daily.
A customer brings up a 1x1 inches, easy-to-hold item to purchase. Surely they don’t need a bag, right? After all, the smallest bag size we have would still be way too large for this single item.
With this in mind, once the transaction is complete, I attempt to hand the receipt and item to the customer, only to be responded to with, “uh, can I have a bag??” as if I’m the idiot.
It’s like people desire to contribute to landfills.
What’s funnier is when it’s someone who has a purse on them. You can’t put it in your purse?!
I Agree. I keep a plastic grocery bag full of plastic grocery bags under my sink for when the need arises. They get more than a single use in my household. I find it silly how we went from paper bags to plastic bags and now back to paper bags again. Paper (trees) were always a renewable, recycleable, and rapidly decomposable resource. For what ever reason plastic became the standard when it should have never been considered. I guess it was just cheaper at some point. Hopefully we will get back to using paper and recycled paper in place of plastic.
