This wasn't a sucky customer so much as a ... the-wheel-may-be-turning-but-the-hamster-is-dead type of customer.

*************

Customer comes through my line, and as usual, I ask if he needs to buy a reusable bag. He buys one ... but ...

Customer: "They're gonna have to do something to fix this."

Me: "Sorry?"

Customer: "These bags! They're all gonna end up in the landfill! People are gonna have closets full of them!"

Me: * ... *

Customer: "What are people supposed to do with them?!?"

Me: "... bring them back and re-use them ...."

Customer: "Well, that's ... that's ...."

He picks up his bag of stuff and moves off.

Me: "Have a nice day!"

About like our hamster that got lost in the heater vent one winter. We knew he was in there, but finding *which* one... Ever seen a hamster the size of a softball?

OMG, that sounds SO gross ...
Yet another reason why I prefer pets that can't fall down into small spaces.

We'll ignore the average-sized cat that, many years ago, crawled into a hole in the floor of a second-storey closet ...

Had two cats that climbed into the basement ceiling many moons ago. How the hell the little fluffball did that, I still don't know.

This past Christmas, I had a similar brainfart. I did some of my shopping in a town that is charging for bags. As I was checking out, the clerk asked if I wanted a bag for five cents. I said, "yeah, I better." It wasn't until after I walked out of the store that I remembered I had a reusable bag (one that folds up neatly into a little package) in my purse. I must have shoved it out of the way to get at my wallet.

I like reusable bags at a lot of places. If they've got thin, crappy bags for instance. I also use them for my recycling. But places that have nice bags, like my local grocery store, I'll save those and reuse them in the bathroom trashcan or for used cat litter.

Yeah, I have chameleons (among other pets). If you ever want to murder someone get them a chameleon. They'll die of a heart attack eventually. It's like having a perpetual toddler but the kind that puts forks into outlets while looking you dead in the eye and smiling. I swear he's jealous of my longer human lifespan and is determined to scare me down to his.
