I'm one who doesn't like to draw attention to myself, so to hold up the line, even for just a few seconds, while asking for something out of the ordinary like that gave me a bit of anxiety (something I struggle with). But the lady didn't seem to be bothered and was helpful to the best of her ability.
I felt good walking home carrying my new produce bags.

Here is a really interesting factoid from her TED Talk - did you know the plastic bags from grocery stores are coated with animal fat to make them slippery EGAD!
