You are not an environmental hero for saying "no bag please"

Anyone who hasn't been living under a rock that underneath an even bigger rock for the past few years has heard about how the poor polar bears who will maul you and your family without a second thought are starving and not getting fish because of GLOBAL WARMING. OH MY GOD! Don't forget, according to that al gore movie, the Empire State building will be halfway submerged in water in a few years and events along those lines.

Now then, in the advent of those movies, people have invented things like "earth hour", where you turn off all electricity for one hour, hey, not a bad idea because you are actually DOING SOMETHING!

A close friend and I were talking about how the hippies of yesteryear are much better than the "hipsters" of right now. Really, standing outside of an office building with picket signs for an hour does alot, oh boy! Don't forget, joining facebook groups really let em know you're serious about a topic! When you say you boycott something, actually do it. Okay, I've strayed too far off course.

Now then, anyone who has worked at any job where they offer bags to annoying customers has heard this fun line "I don't need a bag." Okay, that's fine, sure no problem, here you go. OKAY. Now, when you have to brag about not taking a bag, or let everyone around you know that you won't take a bag for the good of the earth (Yes, something an idiot customer actually told me), then you are a douche. you are lower than a douche.

Just a small list of things I've been told when people save the world...

"No bag please"

"No, I don't want your bag"

*waits until I finish bagging everything, watching closely* "Oh, no bag, you've seen that al gore turth movie right???" (why they wait until I bagging makes you even more of a douche)

*waits until finished bagging* "Bag? EXCUSE ME?! FOR THIS?! NOO...some people" *walks off with smug attitude* step aside people, Queen McSand-Snatch just saved some polar bears...

Some people don't say anyting and will literally toss / throw the bag back at you. I'm sorry for doing my job. If they throw the bag back at you like a frisbee, then that further increases the douche-ness.

More escape me, but my favorite is the ugly suburban mom and her obsese daughter who was busy sucking on a massive "frapacino" which cannot be helping her condition.
"no, my *butter troll* and I will not take your bag, we are going to *looks back at other customers, probably full of herself* help our mother earth AND environment"
troll : YEA!! SAVE THE EARTH! *points at me and then does fist pump*

oh boy...the fact that you will not take a bag doesn't mean that the world is instantly saved, I don't mom and butter troll saved the world, nor was the bag they so nicely refused planted into the earth and grew into a wonderful tree!

You want to "save" the environment? stop driving massive trucks when you don't live in rural America and have NO reason to own one. Start there, I'm hungry.

Carbon footprints, suck it.

Good Business.

Hey! It's Lacoste Essential!

So, as promised, I'll be using this thing to get reviews about cologne, as well as several other men's skincare products and other assorted things, I suppose today will have to be a cologne review day.
Maybe I should have some sort of structure to this thing? Oh well! :)
Today, Lacoste Essential is in the limelight, here goes...

Lacoste Essential is an amazing scent. I have recieved quite a few compliments regarding this fragrance, the main tone of this cologne (haha, that rhymes..) is pepper (seriously). After the main, spicy tone, it fades off into a light-semi citrus end-note. The cologne is perfect for spring into summer time, especially when you sweat. Why when you sweat? Lacoste Essential is probably one of the ONLY colognes in the world that uses a Time Release Technology in which it reactivates itself when body temperature goes up. It has a life of about 3-5 hours before it begins to fade, however, say you use this cologne, and after a few hours, begin to sweat, or get heated up by any[sexy] event, the cologne will re-activate and the scent will return like it was sprayed not too long ago. Works GREAT for athletes or for those who work outside, even the nervous types will find this technology very useful. Don't forget, the scent of any cologne is affected by each person's individual scent! I would definately recommend this, however.

This would also be pretty neat for office since it's distinct enough to stand out, and light enough so that you won't choke the cute girl in the cube next to you. Also, thanks to the TRT, while you're getting chewed out by the boss for openly hitting on the cute girl in the cube next to you, you'll smell great while getting the business! :) It's a win-win!

So, as I was doing further research on this cologne, I stumbled upon this thing...it was just a further reminder why why barely see televised ads for fragrance anymore, except for Sean John's line or the occassional lingering creepy and nonsensical CK ads from the 90's.

For those who don't want to click or are at work, it's basically some creepy looking European guy jumping along those poles on a dock while a wave comes close to smacking him off the deck. It's implied that he gets hit by the wave since it seems to be what he wants, but for some reason he is dry. This cologne will not keep you dry in the event that you
A) jump in front of a fire hose
B) go deep sea diving wearing a polo
C) are the dumbass in the commercial.

Good Business.

The Intro.

So, after a slow day at work, I've let the idea run around my head enough that it's stuck. I'm making a blog. I believe I'll talk about random stories about life, adventures in retail, human non-sense, and I suppose I'll delve into reviews of products that I've personally got to play with in my line of work. Fun!
