It's a hardware store chain and as far as I'm aware, they've never provided bags, but they put out their empty boxes at the front of the store so if you need them you can use them. I think, being a hardware store, bags aren't really something you expect to use anyway, so no-one had ever complained that they don't provide them. If you're doing a big shop, it's usually for big things that go straight into your car anyway. Other hardware stores don't even provide the boxes.
Ahh! Here even the hardware stores have bags. I used to work at one of those, too. It always struck me funny what people would put in a bag there. Like, sure, a bunch of loose plumbing bits or electrical outlets or some such. But like, loose sharp metal things? I was like, you know this will tear through as soon as you're out the door, right? 😂
😂 trails of nuts, bolts and nails to the cars. The store can collect them back up at the end of the day and resell them!
You must have some tales to tell working in different retail stores. Perhaps you should publish some. Customer service can be the worst, but also the most enlightening work.
Years ago I started writing a guide to dealing with your doctor's office, from the perspective of having been a ward clerk and secretary in health care but I never finished it. I could also write a retail horror and humor stories book, I suppose. LOL Or just share tales on Steem!

The humour (maybe even horror) ones might make a good entry for #comedyopenmic.

Hmm, that's true!
