If I hear one more person complain about the impending disappearance of single-use plastics ... in particular, plastic grocery bags ... there will be pandemonium.
Had another complaining customer the other day. "Blah blah blah blah ... now [Competitor] has stopped giving out plastic bags and you have to buy paper bags and blah blah blah ... it's just a gimmick!! *rant rant*" (Yes, you DO have to pay for plastic bags as well.)
Dear Whiny Snowflakes: I'm sure this will shock you but people have gone shopping for foodstuffs for several thousand years without plastic bags. Not to mention that there have been, and continue to be, alternatives to single-use plastic (and paper) bags for what ... 20 years? Thirty? If you haven't dealt with the issue by now, cry me a river and then drown in it.
I couldn't think of any way to respond that wouldn't get me in trouble, so settled for a half-shrug and a "There's your change; have a good day."
