I went to stay a couple of months in the US and of course I brought my reusable bag to the übermarket. The cashier didn’t want to fill it. She insisted to use single-use bags :|
I have these reusable nets for fruits & veggies, and I always figured I’d encounter a cashier at some point, who’ll say “Excuse me, you need to be destroying the environment, otherwise I cannot weigh these”.
Thankfully, I have not yet (here in the Europes), but the self-checkout register at one of the shops genuinely has a step programmed in where it asks you, if you’re using a reusable net or similar. If you click “Yes”, it has the nerve to ask you to remove it before weighing. And it’s just like:
Thankfully, self-checkout registers can be easily lied to, so I just tell it that my veggies are unpacked.
Those reusable nets have weight unlike the nearly weightless cling wrap-like ones. Of course you could ignore the instructions when going through self-checkout, but they’re literally trying to charge you less via a more accurate weight! Based on your meme I realize you understand this, but I’m emphasizing it for others…

My local grocery store doesn’t have a self checkout and I swear they must assume they heard me wrong when I ask them not to bag things. :(
