Take it down a notch, Cruella deGreen

I ran across the street to Whole Foods for one item. But, as it usually goes when I run into any store for one item, I ended up getting a couple of other things too. It ended up being a bit of an armful.

While I paid, the checkout girl sighed, looked at me, and said Do you think you're going to be needing a bag today? It was a bit much to carry across the street, up three flights of stairs, and back to the office, so I answered Yes, if you wouldn't mind.

She looked at me like I was an eco-terrorist, bagged my items, and gave me a snarky smile.

I nearly apologized for needing a bag at the grocery store. It's a paper bag! I will recycle it! I recycle all paper items! Sheesh.

I have enough stress in my life without a guilt-ridden trip to an overpriced muckety-muck grocery store.
