…I take along a big canvas bag, sort of like the bags newspaper carriers used in days of old—but this morning I left the bag at home because all I wanted was a small container of hummus and an avocado. (Let’s keep that among ourselves, OK? There is a reputation at risk here.)
And, having zipped through the store, my meager purchases in hand, I saw an empty checkout lane and strode up to the woman there, saying thusly: “Good morning. I’d like these in a plastic bag, please."
She said to me: “Paper or plastic?"
We’re doomed, right? I know.
