I want lightbulbs, wrapped in paper-thin cardboard and open at both ends.
Make sure the cashier puts them at the BOTTOM of the bag, under the ten-pound dumbells you're buying for someone else.

Can you get me a pack of sharpies that don't have the lids? Oh and some empty dish soap that looks like there's enough to do a few dishes but it takes HOURS for it to drip to the top when you flip it over.
