My store started charging ten cents per paper bag two weeks ago, and there's been the obligatory scattered grousing from customers since (I shudder to think how they're gonna react when we stop offering paper bags entirely at the end of July
), but today had a doozy, a woman who balked at the twenty cents we were gonna charge her for her pair of bags, tried to bargain her way down to a penny apiece(!), and then delivered the memorable line, "You're gonna do this to me on MOTHER'S DAY?!"
A manager had to be summoned, who gave her the two bags free, but sternly added that she would be charged in the future (she stood to the side arguing with her for the next several minutes).
Fuck's sake, lady, a pair of dimes never bankrupted anyone.
