Maybe one of you advocating for ‘paper’ only option...can answer the question(s) that have been posed several times here. What about all the plastic based products that are purchased and transported in said bag(s)? Seems a little hypocritical, no? If you’re using it as a first step in your advocacy, how do you expect compliance and buy in if these (recycled) paper options can’t hold anything with any integrity. If you’re being honest, then you know you’ve seen many shoppers frustrated when their orders collapse to the pavement below due to these inferior products. I also agree with the post about bringing in reusable bags, it’s disgusting. I’ve been behind a shopper that yanked out a half a dozen of those loaded with her fur babies hair. That sounds like someone with other people’s best interest at heart. As I stated earlier, all businesses should make some component of a recycled plastic bag available, durable, and at no cost to the end user. Those that want no part of that can use the litany of cardboard boxes that these grocers accumulate daily that can be used to appease those so inclined.
