If she would have paid extra they would have used a bag from a high priced store.
Respectful people use bags from Macy’s.
Let’s send her a “Target” bag if she’s too good for Wal-Mart. Bet she’d complain if he’d used a garbage bag, instead.

I find her story suspect.
“... in containers that didn’t seal and had no bags, so he used what he had.”
