    It isn’t the case any more but there was a phase where my trunk was literally full, bottom to top not an inch to spare, of reusable bags, and they’d be forgotten.

    It worked out nicely once though when I finally remembered and just grabbed a whole bag full of bags, and there was some Karen going off on the poor self checkout cashier girl about having to pay for her bags, and I was just like “here take whatever I got a trunk full”, and everyone was happy.

    And then Albert Einstein clapped.

      If it’s any of the Karens I know they would go off on you if it was a bag from a discount store like Aldi, Walmart, TJ Maxx, etc and only expect something like whole foods

        😂 That actually did come up, but I was sorta the Karen in that sense. We got stuck in a politeness war of “just take any”, “oh no you tell me which”, and finally I relented like, “Well actually this Trader Joe’s one is pretty snazzy, here take TJ Maxx” or whatever

        In retrospect talking about it now… she might have been fishing for permission to take the snazzy one.

        Good 😤. Be better to the customer service, Karen.

        Right? Low key the only time in my life I’ve read a believable “and then they clapped” on the Internet. I wish I could shop when there’s a grocery bag hero about.
