The lady in front of me at the register was purchasing this:

Cashier: Would you like this double-bagged?

Inside my ready-to-explode head: No. No. No. No bag at all! It’s got its own handle!

Customer: Oh, yes. That would make it so much easier to put in my car.

Me in my ahead again: 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩??? How will the handles of two bags (which will no doubt end up in a landfill) make it easier to put this item in your car than the handle that’s on the bottle? What is 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 with people???

As the cashier grabbed the first of my six items, I immediately said, “I don’t need a bag for any of this.”

If you hate Ticketmaster as much as I do…

Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible. I can’t remember the last time I bought a ticket through them, as I go to box offices at the venues to get my tickets. And if I can’t do that, I just don’t attend the event.

The good news is that N.C.’s new-ish Attorney General is going after them for being a monopoly. Here’s the first few paragraphs of the article. If you’re interested, read the rest on Substack. (Scroll to heading: The People vs. Ticketmaster/Live Nation.)
