I just wish we had filmed this to showcase a geniune reaction.
We were not prepared, this was totally impromptu. Carrying a bunch of our sample bags with me, I had decided to do part of my shopping there while waiting for a buyer. Instead of using the store's bags, I thought I'd use one of my own since I had plenty.
For those of you shopping in the USA, you know that the employees at the cash registers usually help with the bagging, and sometimes there are even extra employees dedicated to help with the bagging. This was one such case in which another person was helping out, and at first got baffled as he opened up a bag to try to double bag it. But then, he noticed our unique handles. Then, came his reactions one by one, and it could not have been better if I had planned it:
- Ah, uh-uh.
- Hmm.
- Oh, wow...
- I thought it was already double-bagged. Wait, what??
- That's genius!
This was definitely an uplifting moment, and one in which I wish I had my camera with me. That may be a plan for the future to have my camera ready, but then asking for the permission could ruin the authenticity of the reaction. Thus, this one may have to just live in words.
And hopefully, experienced by many more... :)
