bag woman

ok, so here's the problem. i have this major major issue with food lion and wal-mart.

there are NOT enough bag dispensers in the produce area. specifically, in the food lion that i frequent, there are two dispensers. they are both on the case with the strawberries and stuff, which is fine. but when i go to get say, apples, or oranges, or broccoli, or a rutabeggar, or cilantro or whatever, i have to trek alllllllll the way back over to the strawberry case to get a bag. and the strawberries are already in boxes, so they don't need bags!

i've had to develop this strategy: as soon as i get to the produce section, i grab like a whole stack of bags off of the dispenser. then i just make my way through, picking up this and that, and pulling apart the bags as i go. then, when i'm done, if i have extras, which i usually do, i just lay them down on some random produce thinking, "someone, who wants to buy this onion, will be happy that i left this bag here because this will save them a hike back over to the strawberry case."

and the stupid produce boys always look at me. i can't decide if this is because often, when i do my sunday shopping, i've just gotten done working out so i'm in a racerback running bra/tank-top thing, or if they just think i'm nuts because i grab so many bags.

maybe one day i'll ask.
