(no subject)

Went to the supermarket to get more supplies (notably tissues - the coughs continue unabated) last night. Got all the things together in one red basket, waited patiently at the checkout for the dippy woman ahead to run off midway through to get items she'd forgotten, dash back out to her car to get her purse, then debate whether she had enough money to cover it, before I managed to put my stuff through.

As it's being put through, the checkout chick turns to me and says:

"We're not allowed to give you more than one plastic bag. If you've got less than three items, we can't give you a bag. You can buy a green bag or get a box, if there's any."
( Huh? )
