What's the best way in this wasteful country to tell a shop clerk that I don't need/want a plastic bag for my chocolate bar/drink bottle etc.? At the moment I just say "iie, kekko desu" when they go to put the chocolate bar into a plastic bag, but I need something better like "bag wa irimasen".
Warning, rant: It really pisses me off here when they put the smallest thing into a plastic bag. Once time I had a crossont (sp?) which was wrapped in paper, put into plastic wrap, put into a paper bag, then put into a paper carry bag. what??? And they don't even ask you if you want a bag too, they just pack it in there willy nilly, and you have to go out of your way to tell them not to. In fact, I would like to know how to say something like..."why would you even think of putting that packet of chips into a plastic bag? Do you not realise how much of a waste that is? Do you not understand that many plastic bags end up in the ocean, killing wild life? Get some f**king common sence you irresponsible *****."
