Last holiday season, we packed orders in re-usable bags emblazoned with the "Reinwald's Bakery"  logo.  These cloth bags were big and strong and I figured long term good for the environment. Plus it couldn't hurt to have our name out there.  The trick now is for all of us to remember to bring them to the market so we can actually re-use them.  I've made a conscious effort to leave them in each car to help. Still I am often half-way through the aisles and I realize I forgot. AHEM!

       
I did remember my bags on my most recent trip. At checkout, the next person in line pointed to the bags and said "that is a good bakery and judging by the number of bags you have, you are a good customer". With a broad smile, I said "thank you, I am Richard Reinwald"  Slightly taken aback, he said, "I go there all the time but I never see you"  Granted I had a baseball cap and sunglasses on but I didn't realize I was that invisible.  He then said " I thught the blonde woman was the boss" . My reply "She is; that is my wife".  After a short chuckle he said, " the bakery business must be very hard with the hours and making everything fresh everyday. You seem to have a passion for it."
