The Mister with half a month's worth of grocery (SM City Cebu)
In our effort to be eco-friendly, we bring our own bags during grocery shopping to reduce the use of plastic bags. However in our case, instead of the regular eco-bags, we use our mountain bag. It’s huge, it’s convenient, and it’s badass. Half a month’s worth of grocery can be fit in that backpack. With this, we commend SM Supermarket for letting us in with our empty mountain bag despite this couple’s questionable appearance.
However, there’s this little mall in the south, a mall let’s call Gaisano Capital Tisa that is starting to get on my nerves every time we go for a quick purchase. I think I can burn them down with my glaring eyes, I tell you! But it’s one of the most accessible supermarket so we don’t have a choice if we need to buy immediate needs.
On the first attempt, a guard didn’t allow us to let our bag in. SCREW THAT. Second attempt, on a different day, I tried to explain. The guard still said no adding that it’s the company’s policy. SCREW THAT. Third attempt: we brought the Habagat tote bag, which is still big can be folded. We got in but upon packing, that motherpacker insisted on using the plastic bags before he can put the items in the tote bag. SO, WHAT’S THE USE OF THE BAG WE BROUGHT? RIDICULOUS!
Calling Gaisano Capital Group! You need to have a sort of plastic conservation program through eco-bags. Yes, it’s an overused promotion but it’s really helpful. Really! Or at least, educate your employees on such awareness. Or better yet, change that god damn policy! If you don’t want to be a part of the green revolution or don’t want to take little, just little efforts to reduce the use of plastic bags until your mall blaze, leaving you with another insurance claim, then at least, let us do our own duty.
