I recently had a chance to visit the Google store I recently had a chance to visit the Google store in Mountain View.  I purchased a little model the Chrome dinosaur, you know, the little TRex that shows up when you have no Internet connection? I always thought it was so clever to turn an aggravating moment into one with humor and delight.  Anyway, my little model came in a little box... but the cashier kept insisting I needed a bag for my purchase.  He didn't seem to press any of my other colleagues... and it was an odd thing to do in California, the land of the widely carried reusable tote.  I eventually caved and paid the bag fee.  Got home and realized, this must've been why he wanted me to get the bag so much.  The cardboard insert at the bottom of the bag was laser cut so you could make your own Chrome Dinosaur.  What an awesome, on-brand surprise! 💚 #GoogleStoreDino
