It's insane to me that Americans apparently can't figure out that you can use the same plastic bag more than once.

HashtagGirlboss posted:I love how all the slightly thicker plastic bags all have “REUSABLE” printed all over them in giant fonts It also rules that they're so cheaply made the ink runs off them if you put something cold that gets condensation, or the handles stretch if they carry cans of soup or a jug of milk. They're literally less reusable than the plastic bags before CA's plastic waste reduction regs required all plastic containers to get thinner and less durable & manufactures found ways to reduce their overhead by making worse packaging. Of course for some reason anything they're afraid you'll shoplift has only gotten thicker plastic containers and blister packs over time.

Nobody anywhere gave a poo poo about that until governments started implementing bag levies. The insane part is that the US still gives them away for free - that's leaving customer money on the table!

What’s funny is that where I live plastic bags are ostensibly banned but there’s a 10 cent fee on paper. Anyway Safeway and Fred meyer consistently run out of paper and just truck in the old single use plastic bags from elsewhere and there’s no fee on those ones because they’re technically banned but there’s no enforcement It’s very funny

They'e 10¢/each now, and next year will be banned altogether in the state.

In Denmark, bags for takeaway food were recently mandated to have a cost. One (American themed) chain, Bones, decided that the solution to this was not to charge 1 dollar for a bag, but rather to construct a cardboard box monstrosity, which is obviously technically not a bag, so it's free! Just the worst solution all round!

A couple of the discount grocery stores in my town save the cardboard boxes the cases of merchandise come in for the customers to put their groceries in. It's a pretty good system and I save some of the boxes to ship packages in so they get good use before they get recycled.

yeah Costco figured out a long time ago that you can offload your trash to the consumer by "giving" it to them to carry their purchases.

The co-op grocery I shopped at in my 20's did that, and so do the bevmos and total wines.

It’s such an obvious solution and way easier than carrying a bunch of bags that rip.

"He brought bags! She just said it, just like that Jerry!" "Just like that eh" "Am I not supposed to bring bags? Do they expect me to carry my stuff out by hand? Like cavemen did?" "Cavemen?" "Cavemen, Jerry!" "Cavemen shopped at Costco?" *pause for laugh track*

None of us wanted to be George. Don't let this world turn you into George. Why not be Kramer? Smooth and you don't even smell. Loose as a goose and ready to roll.
