One thing about the culture here is that Jordanian shop keepers are, in general, very polite. However, as part of that, they seem to be obsessed with putting everything in a bag. Everything. Sometimes, they find it difficult that you would be able to handle a bottle of water and a pack of gum without a nice black grocery bag in which to carry them. Sometimes, if they’re very proud of their store, they will put your three candies into a small, labeled plastic bag and then put that bag into a larger paper bag, thus saving you from answering the perpetual dilemma: “Paper or plastic?” And sometimes, it’s just easier to let them have their way.
