A Minor Success
One week into my tote bag experiment and today at the Union, the check-out lady didn't even reach for a plastic bag, but immediately started putting things into my tote! (This was after she tried to point out that there was toilet paper that was cheaper by 100 yen than what I was buying, but I couldn't explain that I don't like fragranced TP.) And! She didn't put my frozen vegetables or fruit in separate little bags either! I have no had one plastic bag come into my apartment last week. Yes! I guarantee that the check-out folks at the grocery store all know about my little experiment. Probably say something like, "Bloody gaijin with her bag. Always has to throw off the system." Oh, well, it's working!

I have a "Green Bag" that my friend gave me from Ireland. I've used it a couple times (I forget to bring it with me to the store). The people here don't know what to do with it. Especially when I say "please put in as much as you can." Then they get all flustered. I suppose space management skills is not a job requirement at Meijer.
