Two guys and a young woman came up with bottles of soda. I put them in a bag because most of our customers want one if there are more than 1 drink. The woman was the type who will not look anyone in the eye and has a permanent sneer. When the transaction was done one of the guys was saying to me that they were going to go back in the store and drink while they shopped (not needing the bag) and meanwhile grumpy girl snapped at the other guy "Give her back the bag so we don't waste plastic!" I took it back and answered the first guy (since he bothered to address me directly) "You guys are fine either way." I'm not going to condemn anyone who takes a bag. Well, she repeated that they didn't need to waste plastic" and asked me accusingly "Do you know how long those things take to break down?!?" "Yes, I do," I answered as she walked away with her plastic bottle. And I'm the one pulling bags out of the trash to put into recycling.
