At the cash register the woman began sticking D2 tape on one representative of each item to 'prove' they were not shoplifted. I said to her it's ok, I have the receipt. I didn't need 20 pieces of tape.... She kept sticking.... I shoved them quickly into my bag before she got to them. I tersely said 'if I have the receipt it's ok'. Perhaps it was not the right way to say it.... she printed out a tax receipt for me.... and looked for more items to stick. I said thank-you but I don't need them. And left.
I know it is the store policy... but.... the policy is completely illogical. Why is their bag OK and my bag isn't?????I will keep taking my own bag and practice saying 'no thanks' more successfully.
Stuck by D2
(As a contrast the supermarket up the hill from there charges 8 yen or so for each bag and there is no tape happening there.)
