Sarnia, ON – Reports from inside a Sobey’s indicate that local man Gregory Sinclair is absolutely relishing the moment where he told the young lady ringing in his groceries that he didn’t need plastic bags because he had brought cloth bags from home.
“I was right behind him in line,” said Martha Bellisimo. “And when she asked how many bags he needed you could see it. He kind of puffed his chest up and paused dramatically. Then he chuckled and was like ‘oh, no no no, no bags for me.’”
“Then he whipped this bag of bags out from his back pocket and kind of waved them at her.”
Other witnesses confirmed Bellisimo’s account, adding that Sinclair then turned back to the rest of the line and smiled, as if expecting them to applaud or cheer or something.
“I think it’s great the dude was saving plastic, but he did have to open each bag with a dramatic flourish like a matador waving his red flag at a bull?” Inquired Matt Cohen.
Sinclair also reportedly took quite a long time bagging his items, in part because he wanted the moment to last longer, but also because he hadn’t brought a bag big enough to fit the many frozen pizzas he was purchasing.
“You could see he wanted to ask for a plastic bag but at that point he was in too deep. So he just stacked them under his chin and walked out. I saw a couple fall onto the sidewalk the second he got outside,” said Bellisimo.
