What are you trying to say, grocery (t-shirt) bags cost more than a nickel? :stongue: :stongue: :stongue: You'll need to change your supplier if you're getting charged more than that. Google it.
We're not disturbed about Yorkville bags here. |

Anyone complaining about bringing their own means of transporting bags and boxes from the store into their kitchen - you need to seriously check yourself.
Shell out $10 and buy 6 or 7 sturdy ones that will last you a long time
what the is the big deal?

What a crock of Aaron :stongue:
Do you want them to wipe your ass for you too? |

Holy 5c/bag!? That's ridiculous! Who do they think I am, a billionaire?
I'm going to have to sit down with my accountant and seriously reevaluate my budget--now to mention the inconvenience. Life is so hard :( |

No, I want them to bag my groceries for me, because that's their ing job.
You already wipe my ass, why would I need somebody else to perform that service? |

If the government said you now had to bring your own plates to restaurants or else you had to pay for the plates you used and then the restaurant decided they wouldn't plate the food and you had to do it yourself, would you get pissed? |

You want them to bag your groceries for you enough to write two paragraphs about it? :stongue:
I had no idea you were such a lazy turd of an excuse for a citizen.
And you must have me mistaken for your mother, needle dick. |

I went to Sobey's today (btw, they got whole lobsters, canner size, frozen for only 1.99 each), and she asked me if I'll be needing bags. All I had to do was say yes, she bagged them, then added the bags to the bill. So yeah, it did take the annoying thought process I used to have at No Frills or Food Basics all the time, and often buying one bag too many there, contibuting to more waste.
So I paid an extra 20cents tonight, for a service I didn't have to pay for before. |

Yeah, actually, I feel a bit like I'm repeating myself here but I want people to do their ing jobs. You know, jobs, work, ever heard of it? And it took me a lot less time to write those two paragraphs than it would take for me to bag the groceries even once, much less over an entire lifetime. I guess I don't have as much practice as you do performing boring, menial tasks for chump change.
You see this is Canada, and unlike the hole you apparently came from, people here have a concept called convenience, which means they're willing to spend money in order to have work done for them. It's not laziness, because we actually - get this - had to work in order to earn that money. I know you prefer communism where everybody has to do everything for themselves because the alternative is waiting 12 years for the government to do it, but try to understand, that's not how we do things here.

So effectively you're implying that people routinely mistake you for 66-year-old women with four grown kids. Yes, I see the resemblance. |
