On our way home from a Dim Sum lunch at Yank Sing, we decided to stop at Safeway to pick up some dinner stuff (if you're interested, we're making pork chops with a mushroom sauce, aspragus and wild rice pilaf). The shopping went by quickly and uneventfully, though the selection of shallots was horrible.
As we got to the checkout line, the bagger asked "Paper or Plastic". I responded, "double plastic, and please pack them light because we have to walk"… the same response I use every time at Safeway. I guess the bagger was some kind of superwoman because she packed them to the point where the bags were about to rip. A note to all baggers reading this scowl: packing 2 large bottles of All Sport and a 2 liter bottle of Storm Soda is NOT packing a bag lightly! So, Janet and I go to the next check-stand and start re-bagging the groceries. Superwoman bagger notices what we were doing and flippantly says (in between chewing and popping her gum) "Oh, I didn't pack them light enough." I couldn't even dignify that comment with a response.
