I remember in high school when I was a sacker at the grocery store. The environmentalists were wacko over all the trees being killed by using paper bags. The chains moved to plastic bags albeit because of large cost savings. It only took a few years for the enviro-wackos to complain that the plastic bags were not biodegradable and they were clogging the landfills. Of course paper bags are biodegradable.....
Last night when I went to the store I asked for paper bags. They had a new sacker. It was obvious that he did not have a clue as to how to put groceries in a paper bag. It would be funny if it weren’t so sad. I asked him if he took math in school and he said yes, but it wasn’t his best subject. They are so used to just throwing things in a plastic bag without any thought about how to properly fill a small rectangular space.
