In your other posts, you keep mentioning about "I would have broken policy if that was the policy" (not exact words, I know.) The thing is, if it truly IS a policy there and the cashier got caught breaking it, she would be FIRED. In this economy, employers know that there are THOUSANDS of people waiting to take the place of a fired employ. That is, if they even hire another person. There are THOUSANDS (my self included) that would kiss the shoes of a boss everyday if it was Store policy just to have a job. I see WHY she didn't give you the bag. I have worked fast food AND retail and I can tell you there are some lame policies that some places have. I think that they have gotten a bit worse over the last few years too. Would YOU be willing to LOOSE you job over a 5 cent bag? I know if I was working (been off since January, there just isn't anything out there) I would NOT be willing to loose my job over a 5 cent bag.
