Yeah. Piling stuff on another belt so we can bag it ourselves is the norm here as well. I find it fascinating that I will simply pile everything into a haphazard pile on my side of the cashier, but when the cashier scans it, he/she usually piles it up into a very nice and tidy organized group.

I remember when plastic bags became a thing. We were encouraged to use a plastic bag to save a tree.

I always wondered about the sanity of girls who joined ISIS. Do they realize all that they are giving up? And what exactly they are selling themselves into?
