Interestingly, my online delivery arrives like this: Sanitary napkins- in a big basket along with my cereal and deodorant. Condoms- in tiny brown paper covers (cello taped).
When I do buy my sanitary napkins over the counter, I return the paper bag/black bag to him (I usually carry my own bag and avoid the plastic bags at shops, anyway). Typically, what happens is- the guy opens and shuts his mouth several times like a goldfish, says something incomprehensible, and I play dumb. Like many things in the world (the concept of money, political borders, and unit of time), I have no idea where this logic comes from. The best we can do is try to make it go away.
