I lived in a place that banned bags. I moved. The immigrants and urban poor didn’t understand reusables. Stores gave them out for free in week one, and everyone threw them out. All I ever saw was people carrying loads of groceries in their hands. That looked stupid. And because of the spike in disease from unwashed bags, they had to build a new medical school.
The malls and stores are great too. I like going to large national department stores and listening to the explanation to people that they don’t give out bags. Given how much retail hated people bringing in bags, I wonder how the shoplifting is going.
Oh, and guess what type of non-chain stores appear to still give out plastic bags anyway, although banned???
Wonder why online is taking over? Here we are.
