Would you Like a Bag with That?
Gretchen pondered each ka-ching of the till as customer after customer passed through her line. Management had told her this morning: always ask if they want a bag, don’t just give it them. This is absolutely a matter of policy. She was favorite cashier at the neighborhood liquor store, and although she did not drink, she flourished in this world of colorful bottles.

She thought she should compile the little stories into a huge book, to showcase a slice of life. She rehearsed to herself: always remember to ask if they would like a bag; never just give it to them; that’s the key.
