Missing the point...

We try to be good, so we often purchase reusable store bags.

Today at BevMo, they had their reusable bag on sale for 80 cents. So I added one to my purchase pile.

Clerk rings things up and asks if I want him "to break down the 6 pack of cider and put it in the bag."

No need, it's easy carry without a bag.

He then proceeds to put the store bag and my other purchases in a plastic bag.

If it's hard cider, doesn't it have to be bagged? (I honestly don't know the answer to that question, but something in the back of my brain is telling me that.)

Okay -- and he's working at BevMo - and NOT at a nuclear power plant.

(And now you know where they find the people that call the help desk and ask which is the "any" key).

Why don't they just add an "any" key to keyboards so help desks won't get those calls?

Is naming your child "Any Key" child abuse because people will hit them?

The current standard in computer documentation uses the word "press" rather than "hit", due to people taking the word literally, often with heavy objects. While I personally abhor a well-pressed child, some parents would welcome the idea.

That would be iron-ic, and prevent de-pression at the same time. Unfortunately, jokes about ironing and pressing tend to fall flat.

I think parents should even be careful with names like Anneke, etc.

Now that would be a good name for a kid. Etcetera. Fortunately for my children, my prospects of having any seem rather dim.

Unclear on the concept much?
I bought a re-useable bag from Safeway recently and my clerk had paid for his clue and took off the tag and put my crap into the re-useable bag. Sans any other packing materials.
