When I was little, I lived in a complex with a huge lawn area at the end. In the winter, the guy that plows the road pushed all the snow into a HUGE pile on the lawn. All of my friends and I played out there all day, everyday. It didn't matter how cold it was or how late it was, we were out there forever. We made long tunnels and big caves. We made forts and had snowball fights. We thought it was so great that we had a place of our own to go and hang out. As it started to get warmer and melt, our fort began to change. It formed new tunnels and more places to play. Eventually it melted all together. We were so excited for next winter and hoped it would come again, but it never did. As disappointed as we were, it kind of made that one winter special .

Rant.

Where I work, we charge five cents for plastic bags. I think that this is a good thing. Plastic bags take a very, very long time to decompose and most people don't recycle them. However, not all customers would agree with me. For all those people out there that think charging for bags is crap, I think the fact that you can't open up your wallet, pull out a whole five cents and pay for a plastic bag to carry your paint brush in, is crap! You are already spending over fifty dollars, what is another five cents? You probably wouldn't notice if you were not informed that you would be charged for a bag and were anyways. You have just made your way all the way up to my till with your TWO items...Why the hell can't you walk another thirty steps out to your vehicle without a bag!? And now you are screaming at me like it is my fault that this ridiculous policy exists..like
I have some sort of control over it or something..And telling me that you won't be coming back. I won't miss you and have fun avoiding Wal-Mart when they start charging five cents for bags in one month.
