The Green Thing

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older
woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic
bags weren't good for the environment.

The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing
back in my earlier days."

The clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did
not care enough to save our environment for future generations."


I would have slapped her so hard her mother would feel it.

Well, I wouldn't REALLY have slapped her... but I would have told her to
mind her own business. Actually, I think I would have expanded on that
minding-you-own-business theme for several minutes, ending with "If plastic
bags are so bad for the environment, why are you not only making them
available but are actually GIVING them away? Don't you bear the ultimate
responsibility? Aren't you ashamed?"

Pompous twit!
