Thread Name: BS: GREEN grocery bags
Subject: RE: BS: GREEN grocery bags
It's the culture Q.
Really pisses me off when I go to the grocery store and some kid is there to put my purchase into bags and hold out his hand to help hime go to a softball tournament in Timfucktoo. And his parents are standing as chaperones drinking Tim's double doubles and munching Timbits.
Where did this culture of begging begin? I had to shovel snow, mow lawns and trim hedges starting at ten years old and I never went to any softball tournaments. I had Sears catalogs for shin pads when I played hockey. Jaysus... pisses me off. Homeless on the street and these parents are teaching their kids to beg at grocery stores???? For money they don't even have a good use for?
