yes i would. i really would......

......like a bag with that.  that is if it's not too much trouble (i know. you thought it was gonna be something exciting. hehehe). i remember back in "the day" when every store purchase was placed in this nifty thing called a bag.  and i know....times are tight.  the economy is bad and businesses everywhere are looking for ways to cut back.  but come on people.  a bag.  seriously???  we're talking about something that costs the store what....maybe 1/100th of a penny.  now i'm not talking about those ridiculous bags that they give you at abercrombie....ya know the fancy bags that cost more than the item you just bought on the 80% off clearance rack.  i'm talking the el cheapo wal-mart plastic bags.  this whole "do you want a bag for that???" thing has been building and in my opinion (which counts for little) has gotten just a wee bit out of control.  i get groceries and for about 1/4 of my stuff i get asked the question....you want a bag for that???  YES, i do.  thank you.  go to jcpenney's.  buy a shirt.  you want a bag for that??? ummmm, yes please.  i spent over $300 yesterday at wal-mart and as the cashier was ringing up my stuff she placed one of the boxes on the spinny thing and you guessed it...asked would i like a bag for that.  now it wasn't a big box.  slightly bigger than what would fit in a normal bag so if i did want a bag it would require her to reach over and get one of the bigger, more expensive bags.  maybe managers are saying....look folks, it's the holiday season, people will be buying a lot let's see if we can get them to carry it out on their own instead of wasting money on bags.  orrrrrr maybe the cashier just doesn't want to bend over and get the bigger bag.  idk.  or maybe i just look like the type of person that wants to carry all my stuff individually.  i really thought maybe it was me until i went with my sister to this high-end luggage store in the snooty friendly shopping center.  she made a purchase and i almost died when the man asked her....would you like a bag for that??? ahahhahhaha.....so it's not just me. although we look a lot a like and maybe the evil bag lords are just getting us confused.  idk.  all i know is YES i want a bag for that.  whether i spend $5 or $500.  so quit asking me.
