over here most places give free plastic bags, none give paper. You're often asked if you want to pack yourself or if you want help packing. It's easier to pack yourself as when they do it for you (the cashier) they stuff everything together. you'll get toilet cleaner, eggs bread and washing powder together for example until everything breaks and you're eating persil sandwiches with an aqua fresh taste all week, while walking on eggshells.
Except 2 places, both german........
Lidl (who have the best fresh produce for salads) they give u boxes to put stuff in, that had been used for the tins in the store etc.
And aldi where you stand with your trolley as the woman launches everything at you and you have like 60 seconds to put 100 items in without breaking anything. I swear i've never seen anything so fast. |

i use coupons sometimes, but only if its things i'm already getting. i hated it when my ma would use them growing up and would say, "but i'm saving so much money!" and i'm thinking, youd be saving money if you didn't buy that to begin with.
buy 10 , get the 11th free is NOT a deal/bargain. oooo,look at me , i saved $0.05! yaya!!! |
yeah true true.
Also it always seems like coupons are for that one shouldn't really be eating or drinking anyway. Like soda or big bags of candy. |

but then i just leave and go home and masturbate and forget about him the next day. |
take some initiative and hit on him your self. don't be a puss :p |

i guess New England Latinos are more upscale.
you've got the sketchy poor green stampers and then you've got the upper lower class who make big meals out of basic ingredients. but no matter what race you are ppl with coupons are annoying as hell if your stuck behind them.
Oh and another observation I've never seen a guy buy yogart. they should but that stuff in the tampon aisle. |
my best friend always buys yogurt. while i was at school, he was visiting me once and bought a load of it while we were at Ralph's buying booze. after he left it just sat in my fridge for months.
then again, this kid is very very metro sexual |

Do you think they feel safer doing it by check than carrying a bunch of cash around when they could be mugged for it? I spend a lot of my time looking after my nana, I'm the eldest grandchild so it's my duty to, and when you have to see how the more vulnerable people live and do things you do understand a hell of a lot more :) |

We have a market here called "Food 4 Less", mostly for the poor Mexicans in my neighborhood, and they make you bag your own stuff. I didn't know that the first time I went and I was just standing around like "uhh...hello? baggo my groceritas por favor". I hate that place :stongue: |
Seriously, I was shocked when they wouldn't bag my groceries! I went to Food 4 Less one time and will never go back; saving a nickel on a can of soup isn't worth it. |

Is it wrong to make judgments of the person who in front of you in the checkout line based on what they are buying? |
Only as wrong as it is to subconsciously end up in a queue which has a staff member that isn't ugly, sort of wandering past and going "Nope, bad hair, greasy skin... don't like their nose, funny ears, pimples... hair bands the wrong colour... doesn't exercise... doesn't shower!"

Next time buy a dirty magazine, a bottle of scotch, a home enema kit, some magnum sized condoms, lube, some illegal fireworks, better make that 2 home enema kits. And see what happens :D |
Throw in mop handle though and you'll really mess with their heads. |

| I get my groceries in the middle of the night precisely so there isn't anyone in front of me in line so that I need not wait and occupy my time with such pointless activities. |

and that, my friends, is how to be a new yorker;) |
you know im sure you can comment on this, but what is it about 'being a new yorker' that everyone looks at? maybe we (i) throw it out there with some sort of pride that i live/struggle in this city, but how is that seen? what do you all think of 'new yorkers' lol i mean to me i think most new yorkers are realer-than-real, they always see alot of so the fairy tales in books, magazines, and movies are all too familiar. granted the way i think is probably eccentric to most but similar to everyone else living in the city.
i guess the way of life is different, just know that there is one thing...you cant take the new york out of me
my apartment doesn't have a garbage pale, i just hang plastic bags from my kitchen cabinet knobs and dump garbage in there as needed..i should really do something about that huh lol |

after 9/11 its become cool to be a new yorker. i don't think there is any big difference. ppl are ppl. there's some sort of human need to label and stereotype ppl. |
