I was at Mountain Equipment Coop and bought a bunch of outdoor gear, and they refused to give me a plastic bag, so I had to walk home 15 blocks with an awkward armload of stuff. They punished me for walking and not burning any fossil fuels to make my purchase unlike most people who drive there in there SUVs. I had it in mind to explain to the clerk the triviality problem with regards to responsible environmental stewardship and recyclable plastic bags, but I opted to grin and bear it.
- maxerickson 10y agoAre you sure they weren't just trying to upsell you on a nice bag?
- Fricken 10y agoI've spent hundreds of dollars on nice bags at MEC over the years, I just didn't have any of them with me at the time.
