I don't really understand why it would matter to her if someone licked their
fingers to open a plastic bag since it's their bag? Now, if they licked
their fingers and touched her bags, she would have a gripe coming. As far as
iced diluting a drink, it's not really a huge problem unless someone is
taking an hour or so to drink it.

I agree with you and Jill about the plastic bag thing. Why care?
It's their bag, not yours.

Yes, I see that you said it too, that's what I get for not reading ahead.

People are funny about things that aren't really their business.

On a related note... I saw something strange a while ago. I was walking
from the parking lot to the Y gym. There was a bunch of trash on the
parking lot. Some moron had dumped a bunch of fast food wrappers and
cups on the ground. There was a couple ahead of me and the guy was going
apeshit over it. He said something to his wife, looked disdainfully at
the mess, pointed, did a lot of shoulder shrugging, dirty looks at the
mess. He went on and on about this litter. But did he bend over and
pick it up? No. Of course not.

A few years ago, a movie was being shot in downtown Toronto but to make
it look like a US city, they had dumped litter all over the area. While
they were taking a lunch break, a little old lady saw the mess and, not
knowing what was going on, phoned the city to complain. They sent out a
crew that cleaned up the area. Then the film crew returned.........

The exact opposite happened visited our DD back when she was in
college and we watched a woman walking toward us do a U turn to pick
up a piece of trash and place it in a trash receptacle. Then I
noticed the street we were on was not only ultra clean, there were
lots of trash receptacles up and down it too.

Good for her. I have been known to see people throwing trash on the
ground and ask them who they thought was going to pick up their mess.
The best was the time I was bicycling through a parking lot on the
Niagara Parkway and some guy stuck his arm out the window and dropped a
coffee cup on the ground. I stopped, picked it up, stuck my arm in the
window and dropped it on his lap saying "You dropped this" It was only
3/4 empty so it sloshed all over his lap. He sure was ****ed off, but...
too bad for him ;-)

Speaking of litter and stuff that ain't none of my business, I was
watching a guy across the street yesterday and boy did he seem like an
awful person. He was eating something next to the busy street and then
he threw the wrapper on the ground in a most natural way. What an
uncouth animal, littering like that! Then he started picking flowers off
the plumeria tree next to him and putting it in a plastic bag. So
intently did he do this that I figured taking other people's flowers and
making leis for money was his meager occupation.

There was a bunch of blossoms out of his reach. I figured that he was
going to break the branch off and waddaya know? He did not disappoint.
After picking the broken branch clean, he threw it into the rubbish can
that was nearby. That was pretty darn considerate. There were a few more
bunches up higher that would be tough to break so he grabbed a long pole
off of his bicycle and began whacking the blossoms off. He was pretty
damn good at it too.

Since I had finished my eating my cookie at that time, I went back to my
office to rest up some before lunch. When I came back the tree was
completely bare which was just as well since the flowers would have
fallen off anyway. Well, that was pretty much the high point of the day
for me at the office. :-)

My neighbor and I have several hydrangea bushes - in fact the
neighborhood is lousy with hydrangeas. Anyway, we used to have
hydrangea thieves. They'd come in the middle of the night to butcher
our hydrangea bushes for a few flowers and then sell them to florists.
I think the police finally put a stop to it. Don't ask me how, I only
know it stopped.

Reminds me of walking the paths in Yellowstone and hearing the city
woman ahead of me exclaiming to her husband about a nearby Bison. The
Bison was snorting at her and crapping at the same time. The woman
was irate that the Forest Service didn't keep the animals away from
people in Yellowstone. Some people just don't get it.

That's terrible The Park Service should have been there with a pooper
scooper. Not to mention designated areas for such things.

I've done that several times. Usually, the manager puts a little bowl
with a piece of wet foam rubber in it for the girls to quickly moisten
their fingers.

Me either. They did use the bowl and sponge thing in the cash office and
also some sort of thing in a jar. I have seen the same at banks. But for
money. Not bags.

I've lived a long time and have never seen a checkout person do that.
Plastic bags are on some sort of stand that makes it easy to open them
quickly. In any case, plastic bags are illegal here now (paper bags
are 10 cents and I prefer to bring my own reusable bags to the store.
