most paper bags and those thick 5 cent plastic bags they have nowadays can be reused at least a couple times, don't see why you'd take them home and immediately throw them away.

Chief McHeath posted:that isn’t their job you loving dick, eat poo poo Appearantly it literally is. There's a video of the service with them smiling and everything so you know they like it. Weirdly, in the 2000s there was a medium sized supermarket where I live that had this service and the guy would actually come into your kitchen table if you wanted, up flights of stairs and deliver. Without tip. And no charge on the bill. Very small rural town though, where you know everyone. They still got closed when ASDA, the uk walmart showed up. He used good ol fashioned plastic bags and all the kids in town would call him "Strawberry" because his face was constantly red from all the work he did. I think I just remembered when slaves were still a thing on reflection. He'd always get christmas boxes from people, well loved, just not tipped. But christ I wouldn't inflict that on even a medium sized town's delivery people.

I use collapsible plastic creates. I can fit them in the back of my tiny car. There's no reason to regularly consume shopping bags, plastic or paper. That said some times those bags are useful. Just don't throw them away if you can avoid.

I also use plastic bags for cat shot. Sometimes I wonder if they won’t end up being perfectly preserved specimens for a future civilization to study. You can learn a lot about society by inspecting their felines crap

I just don't get bags at all. When they scan the items we just put them back in the cart, then in a collapsible box in my trunk. These are going straight to my house and being put away anyway, I don't need bags to transfer from the cart to my trunk and don't need them for the 10 foot walk from my driveway to my kitchen

there’s this store in town that sells nothing but bulk loose household cleaning stuff. shampoo, floor cleaner, laundry detergent. gotta bring your own containers seems like a pretty good idea. would switch a bunch of my shopping there, except everything costs 3 to 4 times what it would in a store that uses packaging. makes no sense the whole place seems to exist solely to assuage the guilt of rich white people. priced so they don’t have to deal with the riffraff stinking up their bourgeois package free shopping experience

I saw someone using a laundry basket they take with them into the store and place it in the cart, thus, no bags. I kinda want to do something, maybe a little classier with some milk crates maybe?

If you don't remember to bring them with you you end up with a bunch of them and you have to recycle them at the store not with regular pickup. I have adhd so it's really difficult for me to form new habits. They started the reusable bags like 7 years ago and I still can't remember to just put the bags back in the car when I'm done with them or keep canvas bags in the car. Most people where I'm at also seem to buy bags every time so it's not just me. It just creates thicker trash and was a stupid idea imo.

Anyone that forces a delivery person to come into their house to do that is an rear end in a top hat. Theres no world where you should combine supermarkets and peoples houses.

I suspect that the straw thing whereby you can only get a paper straw is merely a test. Lots of people talk about incongruencies like serving a paper straw with plastic cups and extra thick plastic bags rather than going purely paper when it's not really about being consistent at all, I suspect it's about pushing people to change even in small ways. We've been on a trajectory where any inconvenience or limitation on our daily patterns is seen as some kind of injustice or governmental overreach so turning that cart around is going to a bitter battle.

We've been on a trajectory where any inconvenience or limitation on our daily patterns is seen as some kind of injustice or governmental overreach so turning that cart around is going to a bitter battle. It's not some huge conspiracy to inconvenience you. The EU laws(I assume it's the same in the US) that regulate this stuff only outlaw plastic products where good and economically viable alternatives are already on the market, i.e. it's basically random what got outlawed. Some products are very easy to replace, some are very hard. Like, if your straw goes soft on you while you are sucking too long, it's not a big deal, but if your coffee cup falls apart and spills coffee everywhere that's absolutely not acceptable. So you end up with the legal plastic cup but an illegal plastic straw situation. Although it's been a while since I saw a plastic/styrofoam cup around here. It's all been plastic coated paper for years now and they can hold liquids basically indefinitely. Also, I very rarely see people buy plastic bags, but that's probably a Europe thing.

People complaining about paper straws is the stupidest loving poo poo in the world and I genuinely think you have a mental defect if you're actually angry about having to use one lmao. there's loving like 47,000 things in the current state of the world I'd complain about before whining that the delivery mechanism for my sugary babby drink gets a little soggy after a while.
