much job ma, askye!
NOM NOM NOM- we just made and ate some spaghetti and meatballs and it is amazing how the old school classics feed the soul as well as the stomach. SO GOOD! Makes me happy.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I have a reusable bag, and if I"m just getting a couple things, I'll put them in whatever bag I"m carrying, but...I"m often out and about, then think "Oh, I'll go to the grocery store!" and don't always carry reusable bags with me--or a shoulder bag with enough space for more than a few veggies or something. So not being able to sometimes have plastic bags would be very annoying to me. (Or paper. Paper would be fine too)

Good luck, askye! My tip: Have a couple of questions to ask them up your sleeve so they know you were thinking about the job.

Smart Start (which is actually what I had a bit ago): Be confident in your abilities, but don't overstate. Don't get hung up on what specific questions they might ask, but rehearse to yourself why you will be good at this job. You know what you can do. Own it and no matter what questions they ask you'll have a good answer that's true.

They can use paper here. And that's what you get if you don't bring a bag. Sometimes the paper is even compostable, not just recyclable. You get charged $0.05 for each bag (or they credit you for using your own bag, I can't remember which). I have generally brought my own bag in the past, so it took me awhile to realize they had made the changeover.

My plastic bags fit perfectly in the container we use for used cat litter.

I think the point of the "weakness" question is that if you know anything about the world of work you know it will probably come up, and have some bullshit prepared. It is basically a moron filter. (Note that our President flunked it several years in a row, until someone finally pounded the proper approach into his thick skull.)

And to clarify, I don't think flunking it automatically makes you a moron. But I suspect that is the rationale for including it. I was hypothesizing a mindset for asking the question rather than suggesting the mindset is necessarily right. Except in the case of our President, where it really was an example of idiocy.
