Well, Excuuuse Me
I’m sorry Ms. Trader Joe cashier.
I’m sorry that my admittedly quite large reusable Costco shopping bag failed to meet your approval.
In fact, I happen to like it better than the rather tiny Trader Joe reusable bags because hello, I have a family and I can fit a lot of things into it.
I’m all for employees showing corporate loyalty and all that.
But when you audibly cluck your disapproval of my bags not once, not twice, but three times, I’m a bit offended.
I’m still doing my part to help the environment. Unfortunately, my bags did not pass the easy for you test, which seemed to be the biggest problem, despite my having brought them to your store many times without a peep from anyone else.
And you annoyed me enough that my extra large bags and I just might seek you out on purpose next time.

Bummer that happened. Usually they’re really cool.
But what puzzles me more is that somehow one of the realated posts at the bottom of the article is
"Are you afraid of an HIV test?"
WTF??
I had a similar experience once, though I think mine had a more joking tone rather one of pure disapproval. I had a Whole Foods reusable bag in there and the cashier joking (I thought) said something about how I don’t really shop there, do I? *shrug* If it weren’t for my own annoyance with Whole Foods, maybe I wouldn’t have found his comment funny at all.
Call the manager of the store you had that happen in - TJ’s is usually more than willing to make your shopping experience better.
Dave,
I had the same question about the related quotes. Amusing indeed.
