I turn the sacks into "plarn" and crotchet away!!! I can't believe the crappy attitude I've gotten sometimes for using my own bags, mostly by people that probably just want to go home and be done for the day, but I do have to say thank goodness it doesn't happen very often. have a groovy day...~S I recycle my plastic grocery bags into crotched market bags.

There was a big exception to that recently. I went to the Staples store in Monroe Michigan and purchased several items. At the start of the order I set my very nice bag (made it myself) on the counter and told the cashier that I brought my own bag. She just said 'ok'. Rang up my order and took my money. While I was distracted putting away my change THINKING my order was being bagged, she slid it out of her way and went onto the next customer. I asked if she was going to bag my order, and she said 'No, I'm not. You brought your own bag.' Shocked, I bagged my order and went in search of the manager. I found the Asst Manager on duty and told him what happened. His response? 'That's fine. She doesn't have to.' WHAT??? He rolled his eyes at me and said 'I know with Earth Day people are bringing their own bags, but we have our own bags with our store name on it for you to use, and we'll bag your order if you use ours!!' I went home and called their customer service line. They sounded as shocked as I was, apologized and assured me the store manager would contact me about the incident and how it will be handled in the future. Did they? HA! I was told it might be as long as 10 days.. for a phone call??? Well, it's been almost a month. Nothing. Thinking it over, if this ever happens again ANYWHERE I will demand a refund on all items on the spot. This isn't the first time this has happened. Several months ago I was also told by a cashier at a local produce market she COULDN'T bag my order because she wasn't trained on that kind of bag!!!! What is wrong with people????
