No. I Don't Want a Bag.

stormdogI'd stopped bringing my own bags to grocery stores because I can just carry my purchases out to my bike in the plastic handbasket I shop with. I took my first trip to Tops (a local grocery store chain) today for a few things for Danae and I and was told that I'm not allowed to bring the baskets outside. I guess I look like I might be a basket thief. After explaining the handbasket issue, the cashier, whose bag advances I'd steadfastly refused twice, suggested I'd need a bag if I couldn't use the basket.
Now I was just being stubborn. I packed eight mini-cartons of yogurt (on sale at 69ยข) and two small bottles of milk into my purse, stacked up spinach, ice cream, toilet paper, and a 12-pack of Pepsi Max on top of my 90 ounce vegetable lasagna, and carried them out of the store without a bag. Me: 1. Proliferation of one-use throwaway culture: 0.
