GO into the Vitamin Shoppe today and check out. Cashier can't place items in a bag unless I pay for the environmentally friendly re-useable bag. If I don't, I have to carry them out myself. Oh well, I'll just use Amazon if I have to go that route. Good job, bean counters. Penny saved is several dollars lost.

This is pretty common in various parts of the country (some allow you to buy plastic bags for $0.10 a piece), and pretty much the only way things are done in Canada.

I hate it.

Vitamin Shoppe


You're already paying twice anywhere else and your quibble is over a few cents for bags?

This is the law of the land in New Jersey. Bring your own bags into the grocery store or buy them from there for 10 or 25 cents apiece.

A lot of the country is like this.
The bags they have in those places are a lot thicker and better.

Paper bags with a handle are my favorite disposables.

I stopped shopping with a reusable bag after inventory control made a scene in Walmart.
I was using an app where I buy stuff as I go and put it in a bag. Then scan a receipt and check out.
Apparently the idiot employee thought I was five fingerings.
Even after I showed him that I scanned every product into the app they still made me wait for the manager and by this time the detail officer is standing next to me. He at least was familiar. I canceled Walmart+ that day.

I'll spend an extra $30 a week on groceries at Rouse's instead.

It will be everywhere soon, been going on in the UK and the EU for a while now, they will be taxing bags and the cost will be passed to the consumer pretty soon here as well.

Not a bad plan, I'm not exactly an eco warrior but the wisdom of paying more and more to dig bigger and bigger holes to bury more and more plastic in seems to escape me.

Every store we went to in Alaska used paper bags only. No plastic anywhere.

Everywhere in California is like that. It’s ridiculous.

Shiiiiii......

Kroger just cut the size of the paper bags in half. Now I have to carry out twice as many bags as before. Genius!

So now on the front page there’s 2 threads reaching opposite conclusions: this one with an OTer switching to Amazon and then another thread where someone is pitching a fit because it took them a few days to credit his card after cancelling an order.

Should be a grandfather clause. If you’re over 35, you get bags.

I hated it at first, but the bags they sell are heavy-duty and lightyears better than the free bags. I keep them and re-use as trash bags.
