Paper or plastic?

HT bag
This morning while doing my grocery shopping I picked up a bagel from Harris Teeter for breakfast. Instead of the usual paper bags with the codes printed on them, they had plastic bags. I pulled one off the roll and tried to open it. I shook it, I rubbbed it between my palms, I tried everything but it just wouldn’t open. I went at it longer than I should have, assuming that since it was 7:30 in the morning I must not quite be up to speed yet.

Then I examined the bag more closely. It was a single piece of plastic. There was no back to the bag, just the printed front. I might as well have been trying to open a sheet of paper.

Sayeth my husband: “Ask them to see the video before they post it on youtube.”

Heh. I may have started my day trying to accomplish the impossible, but at least it was funny.
