When two people sit on the same side of a booth and leave the other side empty.

I never use produce bags. Am I pissing people off unknowingly?

Saw 3 different people who had at least a dozen containers of yogurt in their cart in the space of 15 minutes at the store today.

Reminds me of this from some years back -

If you're buying one pineapple and one grapefruit, probably not. Other combos might piss off the cashier.

Worst thing about produce bags is the only way to open them is to lick your fingers - after you've been touching stuff all over the store that's probably been touched by countless others. 2nd worse thing is you have to set down your basket to work them properly - usually on the floor.

I swear to Christ I have never licked my fingers before opening a plastic bag or turning a page.

The bags at the grocery stores around me are impossible to open otherwise. I can slide my fingers back and forth all day and the opening just stays stuck together. My fingers are kind of rough.

I guess I could go touch a wet romaine lettuce or something instead of licking.

Clerk is a sick germophobe. Your wife is cool producing less plastic. And I love cabbage and yogurt.

Pissed off by a spell-checker that doesn't recognize germophope.

You need some moisture on your fingers to have the adhesion between plastic in your fingers bigger than the adhesion between two plastic sides of a bag. At least I guess that is the reason.

Sounds to me like suzzer needs to moisturize better.

The bag comes off the roll flat - with both halves of the open end firmly stuck together. Getting the ends apart is not trivial.

I sometimes pull the little half-sized carts because they are set up differently and if you have long legs you bang your shins into the bottom of the cart pretty easily. The full-size carts have a bigger offset between the handle and the bottom so this doesn't happen.

And, honestly, it probably should piss you off because the people doing this are a lot harder to get around in a crowded aisle.

Most grocery stores I've been do have multiple entrances and a wide layout so there isn't really a 'first' thing.

The Safeway I go to has two entrances, one of which is clearly the main entrance. Produce is at this end of the store. The problem is that it's at the end of the parking lot that no one goes to unless you need to go to the auto parts or liquor store. Most people go in the other entrance.

It pisses me off that they didn't flip the design. I've been in other Safeway's that are the reverse. Why couldn't they do it to this one?

Unless you all are willing to lick the handles on the cart or basket you grabbed on your way into the store, you may want to reconsider licking your fingers regardless of the door's proximity to the produce.

I do it too, but for some reason I feel safer about using the inside of my bottom lip rather than my tongue.
