Our county is banning plastic bags in a few weeks. At our registers we have a sign listing the date it starts and stating that we will charge 10 cents for paper bags. Seems pretty straightforward or so one would think.
I bag this ladies groceries in plastic bags and hand them over to her. She checks her receipt, smiles and then sing songs "Busted." I give her a puzzled look and ask her what she means. "You didn't charge me the ten cents for the bag like the sign says." She tapped the sign for emphasis. "You could get in trouble for that."
I smiled at her and politely said "The sign says that we will be banning plastic bags in a couple of weeks. We will be charging the ten cents for paper bags after that. She quickly lost her smug demeanor and left without saying another word.
The situation wouldn't have been so annoying if she hadn't acted so smug about it.
