What Is The Magic Number?
Permalink  

I have posted a thread with a similar topic recently but have had daily occurences at stores...

Have clerks been trained to be lazy or does it evolve naturally?

I had:

                  3...2 Liter bottles of soda
                  1...bag of Tostitos
                  1...jar of picante sauce
                  2...newspapers (USA Today, MIlwaukee Journal)
                  4...D cell batteries
                  1 gallon of milk


And the clerk asked...

             "Do you want a bag with that?"

So my question is...

              "What is the "F%$@ing magic number of items where even clerk
               would think...

              of course a bag is going to be needed....he doesn't have 8 arms
              and doesn't look like a circus juggler!"

Did you buy it at a corner store / gas station, or at a grocery store?

if it was a corner store / gas station the kid probably figured "well, he made it to the counter without a bag"

Actually, I doubt the kid had any thought at all, but you never know.

Did you look at the guy and say, "what do you think?"

Would have been interesting to see the look on his face.

"Back in my day...clerks bagged items as a routine matter."

Now get off my lawn you punks!

It has happened. This is the end. You said the words. You are probably starting to sound like your father. What are we to do with you?

There are no fudge packers in Wisconsin...the factory closed and the jobs were outsourced to North Carolina.

I was referring to the 12 time NFL Champio Green Bay Packers!

Sorry for the confusion biggrin

I'm suprised the kid didn't say "the magic number is 14- you need 2 more items. How about cheese to go with your whine??" lmao.gifwink

my kid needed a bag the other day for her certificates as it was threatening to rain

she went into a local shop and asked if she could posibly have a bag please... the woman told her she would have to buy something...

She went away and selected a small bar of chocolate went to the checkout again and there was a different woman... who didn't offer her a bag (the chocolate was tiny!) so Martha asked if she may have a bag please and the woman said she couldn't have a bag for something so tiny

The kid persisted and explained and was grudgingly given a bag...

...though knowing my kid it was probably an elaborate cover story to explain why she wanted a lift and had spent some of her bus fare on chocolate wink.gif
