Bagfuls Of Drama
(I’m waiting in line at a bookstore that has recently started charging 20 cents for plastic bags. The customer in front me is a lady in her 60s.)
Customer: *rants about the store charging for plastic bags* “I think the store should at least offer paper bags as an alternative, free of charge.”
Cashier: “It’s all about protecting the environment, and the impact of paper bags on the environment is comparable to the one plastic bags have.”
Customer: “What’s this world coming to? It all boils down to, ‘If you want to save the planet, kill yourself.’”
Cashier: “Well, do you want a bag or not?”
Customer: “Sure.”
