Several months ago, I bought a reusable shopping bag from a grocery store as a replacement for plastic shopping bag. I wanted to do my part for saving the earth.
Recently, I had been stopped by the security guards twice when I went to the same grocery store. They told me to leave the bag at the entrance. WTF 
Apparently, they were concerned that I would be stealing from the store…
Happened to me too... it's so stupid. Doesn't help people going green, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! Don't tell me that's Jusco...
ReplyDeleteOh, the recycling bag is for use in all other stalls except the stall you bought the bag from.
ReplyDeleteYou mean you didn't know? =p

ReplyDeleteI do understand that the grocery stores are paranoid. There is no easy solution.

Actually I can still use the bag after explaining to the guards. But you know, men don't like to explain...
I guess the guards weren't informed. Pretty stupid mistake.
ReplyDeleteAgree! Make the bag transparent! I'm sorry, the guards were really~~...

ReplyDeleteI am not giving up yet!
hmm... we are not ready yet are we?
ReplyDeletequachee
ReplyDeleteWe are definitely not there yet!
Defeats the purpose, doesn't it? No wonder we still prefer plastic bags!
ReplyDeleteMaybe next time you should put something in the bag, like keys, wallet...I think the guard rather believe you are bringing a "handbag" than a empty green bag for earth-saving purpose:D
ReplyDeleteThank you for being such a lovely environmental friend. Together, we will make a better world :)

ReplyDeleteI have a feeling that the grocery stores are only half-hearted in reducing the use of plastic bags.
