Why would you be expecting them to help you in the first place?

Psh, listen up whippersnapper, Slave did it first. Almost 50 years ago. And they never changed their name.

Jesus that's scary. The older I get the more I realize how little critical thought people put into any given scenario.

FWIW I'm not the best about plastic bags but I do save and return them. I know that's not ideal but it's better than throwing them out after one use.

But for fuck's sake, if I buy stuff and can carry it fine with my own two arms, I never get bags.
