If I were to make a gender-based grocery store generalization


it would be that women cashiers grossly underestimate/underutilize how much stuff a grocery bag can and should hold. They routinely use 12+ bags when about five would do just fine.

There are certainly exceptions, but I think it's about 80-90% of women grocery store clerks seem to think once you put eggs in a bag, NOTHING else can ever go in there.

The idea of grocery bag taxes to reduce their usage drives me bananas...we could cut the use of grocery bags in half in this country today just by actually filling them up.

Granted, I found a way around all that. The grocery store is within walking distance, so I got a folding cart I can just take with me. I ask them to not bag anything and I just pile it all in the cart and roll it home. I can even roll it all the way into the kitchen to unload it. Beats the heck out of bagged groceries.
