THIS IS HOW BAD IT IS OUT THERE...

[GAGunguy]

So I am at Walmart scanning and bagging my almost $300 worth of groceries while the employee that wants $15 an hour "monitors" and then this happened.
Her - why are you double bagging all of your groceries?
Me - excuse me?
Her - you are wasting our bags!
Me - if you don't like the way I'm bagging the groceries, feel free to come on over here and bag them yourself.
Her - that's not my job!
Me - okay, then I will bag my groceries how I please if that's all right with you.
Her - why are you using two bags?!
Me - because the bags are weak and I don't want the handles to break or the bottoms to rip out.
Her - well that's because you are putting too much stuff in the bag. If you took half of that stuff out and put it in a different bag then you wouldn't need to double bag.
*10 seconds of me just staring at her.
Me - so you want me to split these items in half and put half of them in a different bag so that I don't have to double bag.
Her - exactly.
Me - so I would still be using two bags to hold the same number of items.
Her - no because you wouldn't be double bagging.
*me pressing two fingers to my left eye in an attempt to make it stop twitching.
Me - okay so here I have a jug of milk and a bottle of juice double bagged. If I take the milk out and remove the double bagging and just put the milk in the single bag and the juice in that single bag I'm still using two bags for these two items.
Her- no because you are not double bagging them so it's not the same number of bags.
*me looking around at about 10 other customers who at this point are enjoying the show.
Me- is this like that Common Core math stuff I keep hearing about?
Her- never mind you just don't get it.
And with that she went back to her little Podium so she could continue texting or playing games on her phone or whatever it was she was doing before she decided to come over and critique my bagging skills.

Had you already paid for it? You should have just left it all and walked out.

Better than paper.

Not hardly. Trees are crops and 100% biodegradable. Plastic is forever.

Everything in existence is 100% biodegradable. Some things just take longer than others.

You got a career in automotive design buddy.

LOL...I needed that.

I'm a firm believer that if you do the self checkout you should get a discount because you are saving the company money by not requiring them to pay someone to do it for you. I know...I know, that will never catch on but I kick that horse every chance I get.

Few years vs a few decades. Who TF cares.

I posted this before...but...

I was in Wendy's a cpl years ago and dude in front of me was trying to buy a meal with half dollar coins. cashier told him they didn't accept those...so I bought the $6 worth of coins from him and checked em for silver. dude was cracking up, told me "nah man, no silver" thanked me and bought his meal.

when It was my turn...I ordered and paid with a $10 bill...as cashier was handing me my change he said "that old dude ripped you off." "those ain't real money."

I started cracking up..."nah, they are real, JFK half dollars."

he said "what JFK?"

the nice older black lady behind me...about died of embarrassment.

Nobody is named so NOT a callout.
