I try desperately to reuse

Submitted by Lauren on January 11, 2008 - 16:30.

I try desperately to reuse mine. However, where I live (Louisiana), whenever I bring in a bag full of bags to the grocery store, they just look at me like I'm a crazy lady (and I'm only 23 and "normal" looking!). And then proceed to use new bags when I'm not looking. I bring in my 2 reusable bags and they put a single loaf of bread in one and some veggies in the other and use plastic for the rest (they're fairly large bags, too).

Frustrating, eh? I'd bag my own groceries gladly, but whenever I try the cashier bags them on their end before I can.

It's been an ongoing battle with the grocery store cashiers, as you can tell. I'm sure they all think I'm bonkers, but I'm okay with it, and will keep trying until I succeed in getting my point across, and new bags unused.
