In my early 20's I would pull out the large folded paper bag with one hand, snap it, toss it in the air with a half spin and it would drop into the other open bag. Spin the stapler in my hand like a 6-shooter. Kids would look at their moms. Did you see that? Plastic later took the fun away.

Self checkouts don't trigger me, especially when I don't have a full cart. In and out quickly; I'll go straight to the smaller or non existent line.
Wow. I defer to your superior skills!
