the reason why turtles are dying

12:02 PM
yesterday i was at cold storage and there was this Old Aunty lining up in front of me. her huge trolley was filled with things in plastic bags and i thought to myself, wow this Old Aunty must be so healthy since by logical conclusion things in plastic bags (the kind you pull off the roll and then try to open by rubbing but you end up rubbing the wrong side and you make a fool of your self while the person behind you who has been eyeing the capsicums standing behind you clears her throat then rolls her eyes plastic bags) are usually loose pay by kg fruits and vegetables. right?

wrong.

this Strange Old Aunty had put everything she bought in those plastic bags. some even in double plastic bags. the meat she had bought has already been wrapped but she had put 2 more over it. her already packaged kailan had it's own plastic prison. the cashier Not So Old and Strange Aunty had to remove the platic bag insulation before beeping them and then out it back again.

and when paying (finally!) Strange Old Aunty requested for more NTUC bags over the stuff she already had and asked three times for more plastic bags and Not So Old and Strange Aunty essentially threw it at her! i swear SOA goes to cold storage to hoard plastic bags.

i tell you, this is the reason that too much plastic gets disposed into lakes and seas and chokes turtles (i know it's far fetched but i bet there's a logical conclusion. i should do PR cos i am good at exaggerating and over dramatising haha.

these Plastic Bag Hoarders! they are a menace! and they are dubious. what do they do with so many plastic bags! why do they need so many plastic bags! some soci student hurry up and do a study. i want to know. i neeeed to know.
