Of course, working in a thrift shop you realize pretty quick how we all bought into an even worse nightmare than originally was created by cheap disposable plastic bags.

By which I mean those "reusable" fabric bags, branded Wal-Mart or Save-On or Safeway or any of a thousand companies, yours for only a dollar, you really don't want to harm the earth any further by using one of those cheap disposable plastic bags, do you?

Only, working in a thrift shop you see how many of those purchased reusable bags come in, having seen perhaps half a dozen, at most a dozen uses, and you realize that they need to be used in the thousands of times to offset their bigger (and worse) environmental footprint, and - no, we've actually made things worse, far, far worse with reusable bags and - best of all - they're making us pay to do so!!!

So, I brazenly demand cheap plastic bags, I have no shame having forgotten my reusable bag, the plastic, it'll see it's next use as a garbage bag - food in, garbage out - and I'll be damned if I'm paying to further lay waste to the environment...
