Granny teaches the cashier who lectures her when she asks for plastic bags at a grocery shop a lesson

The Paper Bag Agenda

She told the cashier “The Grocery stores used to bag our groceries in the paper bags that we used for various things. But too bad that we didn’t have this green thing back then.” The look on the face of the cashier was more surprising than the speech itself.

The Old Memory

Dorothy continued her statement by sharing a memory: “Most memorable besides household garbage bags was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our school books. This was to make sure that public property (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribbling’s. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.”

The Attachment

She was explaining the cashier and more crowd was getting together in the line. It was obvious that the cashier was more keen to attend other customers than listening to her but her speech had most likely made a connection with some of the customers in the queue and her conversation with the cashier had become impressive.

The Interesting Conversation

The lady’s points were reasonable and valid. The woman continued to tell her more about the way of life back in her days, expressing how simple but effective it was and reusing and recycling of materials were practiced even way back then. So everyone standing there was listening to her as they found it interesting. It looks like they were not in a hurry to leave.

The Walking Scenario

She kept explaining the girl about how good were the old days and how they lived a healthy life than today in certain terms. She said, “We walked upstairs because we didn’t have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn’t climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time, we had to go two blocks but you know what you are right we didn’t have this green thing in our days.”

The Health Factor

The lady was right. It is true that back then people lived a healthy and fit life than this generation due to their way of life. People use to walk miles and climb stairs as they didn’t have the technology like today.
