That seems reasonable on their end. I bag my own bags when I bring them from home, always have done so without asking (even before the pandemic).

- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoIt seems reasonable to be grossed out by a fabric bag? One that's empty, clean, smells normal, in excellent condition, that I launder on the regular, and nobody but me uses it? I mean, you do know what those cashiers touch all day? Raw, unwashed produce, packages dripping liquids, boxes and cans that gathered dust on the shelf for 4 months, items that have been handled by N dozen customers and employees recently? I suppose it's reasonable to treat a person's personal bag with suspicion, but I feel sort of insulted. Perhaps I'm not rational to be so insulted by this attitude, but they could at least pretend to be OK, for PR sake.
- pixxel 3y agoPeople don’t want to touch your duffel bag. It’s your duffel bag. You can’t force people to touch your duffel bag.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y ago> People don’t want to touch your duffel bag. Then those people shall furnish single-use bags that are fit for purpose, rather than (1) forcing me to bring stuff from home (2) bagging my own stuff, when we pay bag boys to perform this skilled service for us. Fair enough? This whole rigmarole is just another way for climate alarmists to shame the consumer and foist responsibility upon us to shell out for worthless bags that would otherwise be free. Face it, this is just another capitalist-fascist moneymaking scheme, and we're collateral damage.

- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoI'm not sure why it's horrible; like I said, bagging groceries is a skilled task, and I've seen employees who are really, really good at it, and fast too. In a not too distant past, grocery stores employed people who rang up our purchases and they also employed people who bagged groceries. These openings were beneficial to the job market. In fact, grocery stores have traditionally presented a lot of opportunity to people who are developmentally disabled, and I really appreciate that. Now if groceries want to fire those cashiers and fire those bag boys and offload the labor onto the consumer, then I am sure they will be happy to pay us double wages and/or pass the cost savings on to us in the form of lower prices across the board. Unless they simply want to ramp up their paranoia, surveillance tracking, and accusations of shoplifting at the self-checkout, especially when we dare to use our own goddamn filthy bags, what do you think?
