Double Bagging the Sequel

Or threequel (look I made a new word ^.^)since this is somewhat about triple bagging. This is somewhat of a continuation of the previous double bagging list I decided to make about things people think they need bagged (or double or triple) but really, really, really don’t.

triple bagging a phone card (where the fuck are you going that you need that many bags?!?!)

Double bagging a couple of cans of food using the biggest bag we have

Triple bagging your ONE loaf of bread

Double bagging your 20+ lb dog/cat food/litter

Double bagging the small box of pie we carry

My personal favorite: Asking to have a bag for their own items they brought in, usually a prescription bag, and then taking like 4-5 bags.

Asking for the hangers from the clothes to be in a separate bag from the clothes they came on. (WTF do they think is on the hangers that isn’t already on the clothes?!?!)

Double bagging two separate gift cards

Double bagging anything and then putting it into their own bag/backpack

Bagging a chocolate bar and then eating the chocolate right after they get out of the store. (yes the chocolate bar was the only thing they got.

Double bagging the OPENED small bag of chips (that they apparently couldn’t wait the less than 5 minutes it took to get into line, pay, and leave the store to eat.

Double bagging a pregnancy test (I swear the girls asking for these get younger and younger each time)

Bagging just a toothbrush/box of toothpaste

Bagging the smallest  bottle of soda we have

Double bagging any make-up item

Double bagging pillows

Double bagging decorative flowers

Triple bagging greeting card/s

Double/Triple bagging the one bottle/box of medicine (including vitamins)

That’s all that I can think of right now. Sorry about the gaps in between posts but I keep forgetting that people actually read my ranting. ^.^

Stupid things people ask you to bag or double bag

I understand that somethings need bagged or even double bagged. I also understand that some people want some things bagged because they are walking. What I don't understand is why you need your one loaf of bread and one small bag of chips double bagged when it's, at most, 1-2 feet to your car. DG bags are shitty but not that shitty, especially with the lightest things in the world in your bag. I also usually ask if people want a bag if they have one item since we only have medium and large bags. Here is a list of other things that people ask me to bag or double bag:

bag a 16 lb bag of cat litter ((because they're walking) me thinking, "why the fuck did you get the biggest bag if you're walking!?')

the aforementioned loaf of bread and small bag of chips

2 loaves of bread

the smallest stick of deodorant

incontinence pads ((because they didn't want anyone else to see that they have bladder problems) me thinking, "lady you made it to 80 they can think whatever the fuck they want you're a grown lady.")

1-2 packs of cigarettes

8lb bag of rock salt

10lb box of cat litter (that comes with a handle)

the biggest jug (with a handle) of laundry detergent

3 candy bags and the smallest (20 oz i think) of soda

a snow hat (that they then take out as they're leaving, put the hat on, and throw the bag away in the trash can outside)

the smallest container of liquid soap

3 pack of paper towels

12 pk of toilet paper

6 pack of paper towels

small 6  pack of toilet paper

20 pack of toilet paper

1-3 bottles of nail polish

there's a lot more but I can't think of them right now. I'll add a part two later...probably.

Bagging the Plastic?

NY Times: Is It Time to Bag the Plastic?

A great article here talking about America's addiction to this convenient "product". Only a handful of cities are trying to resolve this problem with bans and taxes on this plastic commodity. This really reminded me of the super market I shopped at while I lived in NY this summer. Double bag everything unless you ask them not too. The double bag is the default. What is the reason behind this? Addicted to convenience? Are we so narrow minded that we forge what happens to these bags once they leave our possession? 

The article points out that "the city pays $10 million annually to send 100,000 tons of plastic bags that are tossed in the general trash to landfills in South Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania". 

In addition, the article talks about how the plastic bag frenzy never caught on in many European Countries. Is the plastic bag addiction something that is engrained in our American culture and the illusion that our huge country is an endless plain?

Another good point: "But experience shows that even environmentally conscious people need prodding and incentives to change their behavior permanently."

This is pretty wild/ridiculous: "After Austin, Tex., passed a bag ban earlier this year and with Dallas considering one, State Representative Drew Springer, a Republican, introduced the Shopping Bag Freedom Act in the Legislature. That act essentially bans bag bans, protecting the right of merchants to provide bags of any material to customers."

A ban on bag bans is so silly. 

The article even speaks about how Representative James P. Moran, Democrat of Virginia, just recently introduced a bill to create a national 5-cent tax on all bags.

PRADA Double Bag I love watching how they make these beautiful bags that I love. I think it makes me appreciate the bag more and how long it took to make one.
