After single-use bag ban, reusable totes are overwhelming New Jersey
TEANECK, N.J. - In the Garden State, shoppers have no choice but to bring a reusable bag into the local supermarket. With New Jersey's ban on plastic and paper bags, most people say it's turning into more of a nuisance—simply because they're overwhelmed.

Classic leftist, "Well we didn't mean for THAT to happen" since they seem to be unable to understand fundamental economics.
ReplyDeleteThe stupidity of banning the plastic bag you put all your plastic contained products in.
DeleteYes, we have a winner! Just like EVs are powered w coal & NG...
DeleteLibs don't think ahead, just right now - "oh what a great idea make it law!"
Later the unintended disaster unfolds.

I never throw my bags away, I use them as trash bags for my small cans. Just like a lot of people!
ReplyDeleteAnother brilliant Leftist move that failed
ReplyDeleteDon't forget them, when you go shopping, how hard can it be?
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of stupids out there which is why it's hard. A comedian once said think of how stupid the average person is then realize half the people are dumber than that. Anyway, I use them all the time at Aldi's and have never forgot them. Once I unload them I set them by the door. The next time I leave I put them behind the seat in my truck and they're there when I need them -sammy
DeleteOK, exclusively use the "Curb" service. The supermarket bags it and brings it out to the car. Around here, last I checked, no extra fee.
ReplyDeleteI like the reusable bags. This came up a bit ago. The article was about, carry out bags. Of course only an idiot would put a blood dripping hunk of meat in a bag. Once again the article was about, carry but Bags. The bags provided in the meat and produce depts of course I use. I read nothing of these bags being banned, just the carry out. So, I aint no left card carrying liberal fuck. I just prefer the bags with straps that are coated with something so they don't absorb any leaks and are easy to wash. I can put twice as much stuff in the bag too. Maybe too heavy for some to carry but I don't like extra trips to the truck. I think the issue is some don't like being told they can't get the bags. Whereas myself, I don't care one way or the other cuz I don't use them anyway and haven't for years. Yup, they are great for bathroom garbage cans and yup, I snatch a couple every now and then just for that purpose. If they go away, I'll find something else that works.
ReplyDeleteMy grocery store complains when I reuse these bags for picking up after my dogs. That's what I used the bags for in the past, so why not now?
DeleteI keep mine in the truck. Once I've unloaded the vittles, I put them back into the truck. I'd a hell of alot rather have to do this than see bags flying out in the middle of a field where they don't belong.
ReplyDeleteUnintended Consequences Strike Again!
ReplyDeleteI do believe in keeping things clean and reusing things. I'm old enough to remember returnable glass bottles. As kids we'd find a few and have enough to buy us a soda water.
ReplyDeleteNot much sympathy for those that keep bitchin they keep forgetting to bring new bags. Guess Uncle Sam is covering those bitches costs?
Too bad everything .gov does to make things 'clean and sustainable' makes things worse. Good people on their own make things better. We used to be 'green' back in the day. And don't get me started on the 'throw away' society. We used to fix shit. Not throw it away.
we've had it here in CT for awhile and it was just like the mask, you get halfway to the store door and remember you forgot it and half to go back to the car- what a pain in the ass
ReplyDeleteThose bags are very useful when helping illegals move out of Martha's Vineyard.
ReplyDelete"I always forget to bring them when I come in the store — I have a bunch of them."
ReplyDeleteAre people in New Jersey really this hopeless?
If that came here I'd just buy me some garbage bags, no waste there. Wife would probably bitch when I brought thirty gallon bags of canned goods into the house.

I’ve seen some of the reusable bags people bring back into the store. Just a matter of time before a salmonella or e-coli outbreak is traced back to a store. Roaches win big with a trip to an unlimited food supply. I have a box of a thousand single use plastic bags in my trunk. Cashiers bag my groceries with them.
ReplyDeleteNearly everything we buy at the grocery store comes in a plastic container, methane breathing wokeydokeys
ReplyDeleteIn 1986 when Kroger made the switch to plastic, they had a store meeting in Toledo Ohio to introduce them. An employee named Joseph Poirier said "great, you will need two baggers at every checkout, one to hold the bag and the other to fill it. Customers will be waiting in line for hours.
ReplyDeletePanicked, management asked about solutions whereupon Poirier asked for a coathanger and paper punch and designed the holder we see still today. He was still in highschool.
Here is how I look at it.
ReplyDeleteBefore the mandatory requirement the people using the reusable bags were the
anal people Clean. organized. Shopping planned. Bags well taken care of. Washed.
Good for them. Wish I could be that way. I am not.
I estimate that at 2% of the people have sterile bags. Whole Foods or Sprout could be 80%. They are an uncommon find by normal people shopping in the normal stores.
So now all people required to use reusable bags. Big mistake.
1. A lot of people shop on impulse. They dont have the bags. The extra charge at the
end is a freakin insult..
2. I have an SUV where the back is always flat because of the dogs. When I know I am going shopping from the house sometimes I remember to put the reusable bags in the back where the dogs were. I dont vacuum the back out. I throw the bags back with the dog hair. Guess what gets put on the checkout belt.
3. What about the lower cliental that are not big on insect control. So when it comes to the
slums, where do you think they are keeping their bags? They dont want to pay that bag fee.
It gets put on the checkout belt.
4. What about the sick people. They bring their bags and they are handled by the cashier and bagger.
I used to use the one time checkout bags to pickup after the dogs. They are so pitiful, I buy
dog shit pickup bags. The store bags always have holes in them.
Anyone with a reusable bag had to wipe it with water or put it in the clothes washer. Water being
wasted for this a very important thing.
Stores do have bins to recycle their one time use bags. Even though they are reused for
other things.
The thick reuse plastic bags are not recyclable. How many one use bags create a reuse bag. 200.
The cashier and bagger will handle every ones cloth bag through out the day and spread whatever disease.
Do not even get me started on the stupidity of solar panels on the roof that capture all of the suns heat.
The water wasted which in my mind is more important than a thin 200 use multipurpose bag wich makes up 1 use reuse bag
ReplyDeleteAnyone who thinks "recyclycling" anything will save the planet is a fucking idiot. Just listen to Professor Carlin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rld0KDcan_w
