Lightbulb police? (was RE: Anyone off to VCF-UK)

I often get a funny look from the checker when I respond with, "No bag," and juggle four or five items for the few yards it takes to get to my vehicle. When I see that look, I give them a glare of defiance and say something like, "I am NOT ashamed to buy orange juice!" Some get the joke and smile, others just hope I'll leave quietly. What irks me is when they just start stuffing my items into a plastic bag without asking, and then look put-upon when I tell them to take it back out. What amuses me is when I'm buying only one item, that's in a bag, and they want to put it in... another bag. -- Ian ________________________________________ From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Cameron Kaiser [spectre at floodgap.com] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2010 8:37 AM To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: Lightbulb police?

Also, I have to repeatedly tell them I don't need my milk gallons in double bags (or bags at all). But as usual the kneejerk reaction of the political class is ban it all, damn the consequences. -- ------------------------------------ personal: http://www.cameronkaiser.com/ -- Cameron Kaiser * Floodgap Systems * www.floodgap.com * ckaiser at floodgap.com -- There are few problems that the liberal usage of high explosives can't cure.
