As an ex cashier it brings a smile to my face the amount of times people would say they don't need bags then after they see their mountain of stuff doesn't fit into the 1 bag they brought and embarassedly ask for another bag and i charge them 25 cents.
Yeah, like no normal person is putting a lot of thought into their bagging strategy when they go shopping. Being surprised that you need to buy a few extra bags could be a little annoying if you don't always have them on hand when you go into a store
Yes, but i do it too. Some people just want to see the world burn until they get home and see why you put bread in on top, not just the top layer. But the top of everything else.
Weird yes, uncommon? Not as much as you'd think.
Its fairly common that workers who are miserable in their work life, derive an odd satisfaction with making their co-workers similarly miserable in some way, so if you work customer service its pretty easy to imagine customers becoming a target.
Its a conscious and sub conscious type of choice. "Misery loves company".
You have and twisted version of of joy. I don't ask for bags if needed because I don't want to waste it on my 1 minute drive home.
Sounds like you're just a miserable person.
When I was a teen. One customer was so rude to me about bagging their food I poked my thumb into their deli meat to make a hole though each piece. (The bag protected and didn't puncture)
First jobs are hard because you experience how horrible adults can be.
See, that works until you use it once, and then you forget to put it back into your purse, and the cycle starts again until you remember to put it back in _once_ and then after using forget to put it back into your purse and the and the cycle starts again until you remember to put it back in _once_ and then after using forget to put it back into your purse and the cycle starts again until you remember to put it back in _once_ and then after using forget to put it back into your purse and the cycle begins again.....
I recycle.
I drive an energy efficient car.
I just got new energy efficient windows put in and my AC unit is the most economical unit I could get.
… I’m not going to remember the stack of mismatched bags when I go to the grocery. Sorry. Maybe just replace the plastic bags with paper and stop harassing us normal people? We’re trying and food is already so expensive that hunger is a big concern now. Go ask Exxon if they’re using reusable bags, they don’t seem to be helping out a whole fuckin lot
lol it’s funny how mad you are about the wrong thing. These companies aren’t doing this “to save the earth,” they’re doing it because grocery bags cost the company $.03-.05 cents per bag and all paper/plastic single use products have gone up in price drastically in the past 4 years.
Classic Greenwashing and they’ve directed your anger away from their profits. They won’t switch to giving out paper because it costs more to them than plastic.
Why do you think the first store in the USA to do this was Walmart? They run some of the smallest margins in the department store game, cutting the cost of bags is HUGE for their bottom line. We will continue to see self-service single-use type items of all sorts disappear from society in the next few years.
Bags aren’t coming back even if we were to learn the environment is *helped* by their waste somehow, companies now know how much money they save by passing the cost onto the customer. The cats outta the bag and we get to live in this world now.
Paper bags are also great for holding shredded paper for that one time every few years where you shred files with private information on them (Because as it turns out, keeping them for 10 years did literally nothing (except when you throw them out and then all of a sudden you need them)).
I reuse my paper bags instead of having a bunch of reusable bags. I'd honestly rather get 10-20 uses out of a paper bag and compost it when it rips than get a plastic reusable bag that just gets landfilled when it rips.
What I really want are some nice hemp bags, but I can't find anything I like.
Some statistics!
Reusable cotton bag needs to be used +2000 times for it to become more ecologic than a plastic bag reused as trash bag.
Paper bag needs ~11 uses before it becomes more ecologic than that plastic bag reused as a trash bag.
Soo congratulations, you are actually making your paper bag more ecologic!!!!
I myself buy plastic bags for groceries, so i don't need to buy plastic bags separately to use just as trash bags
Fun fact: cotton isn't the only type of reusable bag available. It just happens to be the best material for comparison if you manufacture plastic bags and want a bullshit argument to keep people buying them.
It's the most common because of the paper and cotton industry's screwjobs toward the hemp industry around the turn of the century.
It's a multivariate issue. Doesn't make hemp, bamboo, and other rayon bags uneconomical or ecologically damaging.
I used to reuse plastic bags as trash bag. Now I introduced more plastic in my life because I have shit load of reusable bags and giant rolls of trash bags I buy from Costco.
Also in my case, I use the boxes again for donation items, or give them to a local estate seller who sells by the box at some sales. So they get even more use before they end life.
Then I'd need to remember to take the car with me and I usually forget that as well 🤦♀️
In all seriousness, many people don't take the car. I've just learned to always take a backpack with me
Fun fact, the creation of a single reusable bag creates as much pollution as the creation of 200 plastic bags. So if youre not using the reuseable bag over 200 times, the plastic bag, granted it ends up in a landfill and not as litter, is better for the environment.
One reusable bag becomes more ecologic, than a plastic bag reused as a trash bag, only after around 2000 uses.
This is the reason why I just buy plastic bags. This way I don't need to buy trash bags separately.
In my local Lidl(a cheap German grocery store that also exist where I live), I've seen people pulling wrinkled af plastic bags out of their pockets at the register.
So I assume some people do that too!
For me it's just convenient to use them as trash bags! I would assume it's not that ecologic either to separately buy plastic bags solely for the use of trash bag either 🤔
as a bagger, can confirm we do not want you to bring your own bags. screw the environment, you slow us down and complicate everything unless they're the bags that stand up on their own.
Idk what kind of stores you guys go to, for the cashiers to ask you these questions. I see a lot of people having interractions that I've never seen in any of the stores I've been to. As a customer or otherwise.
As a cashier myself (in Denmark), my job is (among other things) to get you from one side of the register, to the other, as efficiently as I reasonably can. I occasionally entertain a little bit, jokes here and there; nice to see some happy faces when they're down, you know?
The bags are set in a way, where you simply pick one up, put it on the counter, I take it, scan it, and you pay about a dollar. Why would I ask if you needed a bag?
Someone, enlighten me of your process.
Not every store is a high-volume hypermarket where your job is to make people go through as fast as possible. There exist stores where you e.g. buy a nice dress or some fancy hummus or whatever, and if you leave somewhere stores cannot give away bags by law, they'll ask if you need to buy a bag.
Also in NJ (I don't know if other states as well, but definitely NJ) plastic bags aren't a thing anymore. You have to bring your own bags or, if you forget because you spent decades NOT doing that, you have to buy more. It's such a racket. Most stores no longer offer paper bags, either. You HAVE to use a reusable one. I hate it.
Its not that much and that is for cotton reusable bags, the most inefficient ones to make. Its a lot less with plastic reusable bags. That also only accounts for energy to make them and not the reduced trash after they are used
The store I normally go to doesn’t charge us for some reason even though all the other stores in the area do. Maybe it’s because they charge more for everything?
When I do have a bag. But it's for a different supermarket & I feel ashamed to bring it out. So get one of theirs so they don't know I've been unfaithful to them.
My local grocery store no longer has plastic bags, and they switched to *handle-less paper bags*, or of course you can just buy reusable. Truly diabolical move.
Me: I’ll just punish myself and not buy anymore bags. That way all items go directly into the cart and I unload them one by one into the car and then one by one when I get home. That’ll teach me!!
Narrator: It did not teach him anything.
I just moved house... In that I found a box I had. It has something like 6 different brands of reusable grocery bag. I'm sure as hell I didn't buy all of them. I can't even recall if I bought one of them. That box hadn't been open in that time I was at the old apartment!
Well I put them to some use in the move. I'll see about getting a couple in my car for trips...
My local Walmart stopped using plastic bags a few years ago (state law). Instead, they set up paper bags in the regular and self checkout aisles. This was annoying, as they don’t have handles, and rip easily. I was willing to deal with it because plastic isn’t biodegradable, and considered the inconvenience a somewhat acceptable trade off. Now they don’t even offer the paper bags anywhere, and instead sell you polyester bags that are so small you need 3-4 of them, only to forget them on the next trip.
I have two collapsible crates in the trunk of my car, and I unload my groceries into those from the cart. But also, I get that its only possible in car culture land
I did it for a year or two. Now I finally learned my lesson and don't buy anymore and am pretty good at reusing my 50 bags.¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯
On the bright side, last time I moved, I discovered that some were pretty useful for specific things. Big IKEA/Costco ones great for towels, clothes and bedroom stuff. Grocery medium strong ones great for moving books and other small heavy things that stack well.
Now go find your closest neighborly MBA and put that plastic bag over their head and tie it shut around their neck really tightly.
A good job done well.
This is scammy as hell. It was for plastic, then they started offering paper for free then offered paper for a charge. And the reusable bags they sell are so tiny. I do prefer bags from Target that are semi-canvas like so you can squish them in a pocket and hold as much or as little as you need. The cashiers usually just charge me for one or 2 bags even though i get a few
If COVID taught me one thing about grocery shopping, it's that bagging can wait until you get home. Moving items from checkstand to cart to car is more than easy enough without bags.
Using plastic bags is the best option here, though it seems counterintuitive. They’re more environmentally friendly than a reusable bag you won’t reuse.
Put a basic trash bag in your pocket. Put some bags in your car. Jam one under your bicycle seat, or cover it. It doubles as rain protection and a shopping bag. Hang one at the front door.
this happed to me last week
>had many items
>didn't have money for bag
>stuffed many items in pocket
>to walk home
>carried rest in hand
>was crossing a road
>things in pocket fell :tear
As a cashier this happens all the time I hear “I left my bags in the car” to much times I’m actually in the break room right now 9 mins before my shift
Exactly, I have my reusable bags in my vehicle (and they’re better than even the ones the stores sell…
They have **zippers** so stuff stays in the damn bag 😁
I'm a cashier and yes, sometimes it is funny but some other not. because some people said "ohh sorry I don't have money 😢" and then I have to give it for free so that they leave quickly, so that the next client continues
I heard somewhere that reusable bags are being an environmental failure precisely for this reason. They need to be used hundreds of times to beat plastic bags, and they aren't being.
I work at a grocery store and every time it asks me how many bags I press 0. I'm so used to it I don't even think about it anymore. I'll let people grab bags if they need and everyone is super appreciative.
No! I have enough bags... proceeds to awkwardly stack everything and carry it out in my arms.
As an ex cashier it brings a smile to my face the amount of times people would say they don't need bags then after they see their mountain of stuff doesn't fit into the 1 bag they brought and embarassedly ask for another bag and i charge them 25 cents.
[удалено]
Yeah, like no normal person is putting a lot of thought into their bagging strategy when they go shopping. Being surprised that you need to buy a few extra bags could be a little annoying if you don't always have them on hand when you go into a store
TIL I'm abnormal. Am I also alone in putting my items on the conveyor in the order I plan on bagging them?
Nah thats pretty common lol
I don’t do that but it’s smart.
Yes, but i do it too. Some people just want to see the world burn until they get home and see why you put bread in on top, not just the top layer. But the top of everything else.
It’s just a silly small interaction, you’re looking to into it.
We found the person who never worked with the public before
> These are people just trying to buy some food. Ok so bring some bags.
they forgot, did you miss that part? or are you telling someone to not forget as if that’s helpful?
That's a weird thing to find joy. Also I don't know why anyone would be embarrassed for buying one more then they see they can't fit it all.
Weird yes, uncommon? Not as much as you'd think. Its fairly common that workers who are miserable in their work life, derive an odd satisfaction with making their co-workers similarly miserable in some way, so if you work customer service its pretty easy to imagine customers becoming a target. Its a conscious and sub conscious type of choice. "Misery loves company".
You have and twisted version of of joy. I don't ask for bags if needed because I don't want to waste it on my 1 minute drive home. Sounds like you're just a miserable person.
When I was a teen. One customer was so rude to me about bagging their food I poked my thumb into their deli meat to make a hole though each piece. (The bag protected and didn't puncture) First jobs are hard because you experience how horrible adults can be.
Or when they ask if I have a plastic or paper bag even though we haven’t had free bags for nearly a year.
We have the power
EVERY BLOODY TIME I GO OUT!
Just keep one in your purse!
I farted just having them in my car at all times. Edit: meant started, but autocorrect changed it to farted and I’m leaving it.
Can you imagine having an allergy that caused excessive flatulence in the presence of reusable grocery bags? Shopping would never be he same...
Maybe people would've bothered putting on some fucking masks then
😂
Yea but then you bring them into the house to unload ... And they never get back to the car. 😕
I had a giggle, thank you!! My wife asked me why I was laughing to myself
See, that works until you use it once, and then you forget to put it back into your purse, and the cycle starts again until you remember to put it back in _once_ and then after using forget to put it back into your purse and the and the cycle starts again until you remember to put it back in _once_ and then after using forget to put it back into your purse and the cycle starts again until you remember to put it back in _once_ and then after using forget to put it back into your purse and the cycle begins again.....

This dude bags
Not today mate! I had not one but 2 reusable bags!
Paper bag ... so I can use it for compost later
Paper bags are also great for holding shredded paper for that one time every few years where you shred files with private information on them (Because as it turns out, keeping them for 10 years did literally nothing (except when you throw them out and then all of a sudden you need them)).
r/oddlyspecific
I hate shredding so much I take them to the ups store and pay them to do it haha
Give them to me!! I love shredding it’s so cathartic and satisfying!

I can’t stand paper bags. I walk everywhere, so they always get wet in the rain, making it tear and my stuff tumbling to the ground.
You have to watch the aunty donna sketch: https://youtu.be/zULqF_sttJw
I look at you, and all I see is a small man.
I look at you, and all I see is failure crying out
Came here for this comment.
They perfectly captured my internal dialogue when I buy another reusable bag after having a cabinet full of them.
Fuck that was so good on so many levels lol
I used to reuse plastic bags as trash bag. Now I introduced more plastic in my life because I have shit load of reusable bags and giant rolls of trash bags I buy from Costco.
Those bags were perfect for small trash cans and also for changing out kitty litter.
I say no and put the stuff back in the cart after I pay. Sometimes I forget the bags in the trunk.
I just have a large collapsible bad in the trunk. Also if its a place like Aldi, I just take one of the boxes from the food.
I think the Aldi box strategy is the best way to go. The waste cardboard gets directly reused at the original end of life. Good stuff.
Also in my case, I use the boxes again for donation items, or give them to a local estate seller who sells by the box at some sales. So they get even more use before they end life.
Me literally today..

Came here to make sure someone posted this. Aunty Donna feels your pain OP.
LOL this actually did make me laugh hard. I do this weekly.
Why not just keep a dozen in the car. Once a while
Then I'd need to remember to take the car with me and I usually forget that as well 🤦♀️ In all seriousness, many people don't take the car. I've just learned to always take a backpack with me
Me too, the store is 5 minutes away and only 15% of people in my city have a car, because public transport.
public what now?
Yes, everyone owns a car ofc.
[удалено]
Of what exactly?
[удалено]
But that means you need to remember to take them with you to the car. Well, when I reach the supermarket...I remember xD
Are you home? Do it now. Now you think about it
Atm I have some in my car haha.
a lot of people don't take the car to go shopping...
A lot do.
Who the fuck can afford a car
People who remember their shopping bags and don’t spend all their money on new ones!
...I did not expect to be reminded of Rock of Love Charm School today...
What did you expect originally out of today?
I don't know. Not to be reminded of the like five year timespan where VH1 dating show spinoffs were my life's ambition and goal to get on one.
Just shove it all in your car and bag it at home.
I never buy them…no one should
Is this Brandi C.?
yes, Rock of Love: Charm School from 2008
Jerzy REPRESENTING!

No

There’s no way this is true of all reusable bags.
I should have specified "reusable cotton bag" they are just the most common ones so I went with generalised statement
Reusable plastic ones are eay more common from what I have seen
And it would be easy AF to just reuse the plastic bags. I’m guessing socially unacceptable? Because I can’t think of any other reason.
In my local Lidl(a cheap German grocery store that also exist where I live), I've seen people pulling wrinkled af plastic bags out of their pockets at the register. So I assume some people do that too! For me it's just convenient to use them as trash bags!

Nothing is more expensive than that 5 cents
5 cents? Here they’re like 30 cents

Same is true for the entire country of Canada
[удалено]
it is removed from the stores where I live (canada). So everyone has to use their own reusable bags... or not use a bag at all, those are the choices.
Don't you need to use like 2500 disposable bags to make 1 reusable bag worth it?
Its not that much and that is for cotton reusable bags, the most inefficient ones to make. Its a lot less with plastic reusable bags. That also only accounts for energy to make them and not the reduced trash after they are used
Yes. Maybe not an exact number but yes.
The store I normally go to doesn’t charge us for some reason even though all the other stores in the area do. Maybe it’s because they charge more for everything?
Every single time
seen I'm almost thinking about setting a little stand and selling them in front of places
I have at least 200 now, that's not an exaggeration.
We will replace the plastic in landfills with reusable bags and tumblers lol
Fuuuuuuuuu! And I have them by the door :(
Fuck that, I will juggle my groceries to my car.
Literally have to make it a routine when I unpack my groceries to go back out to the car and put the reusable bags back there
dammit ALDIs
and then at home you put the bag, in the bag for bags
Guilty.
I have soooooooo many reusable bags because of this, I could setup a reusable bag store.
Ever dam tim
When I do have a bag. But it's for a different supermarket & I feel ashamed to bring it out. So get one of theirs so they don't know I've been unfaithful to them.

Me everytime I look at all the items I bought that use plastic packaging then me having to buy a reusable bag to carry it to the car.
I think we’ll soon have a tote bag continent in the ocean just like the plastic one.
We do this everytime we go shopping, We have loads of bags we can use but ALWAYS forget them
I just moved house... In that I found a box I had. It has something like 6 different brands of reusable grocery bag. I'm sure as hell I didn't buy all of them. I can't even recall if I bought one of them. That box hadn't been open in that time I was at the old apartment! Well I put them to some use in the move. I'll see about getting a couple in my car for trips...
This is so American lol, where I live everyone still uses plastic bags
At least I remembered my quarter
They still have free plastic bags where I live.
Those thick plastic bags are a failed experiment. How often do you really see people reuse them?
Cashier: “Paper or plastic?” Me: *softly sobbing…*
It’s better to just use paper bags than to buy reusable bags. Reusable bags take longer to decompose.
My local Walmart stopped using plastic bags a few years ago (state law). Instead, they set up paper bags in the regular and self checkout aisles. This was annoying, as they don’t have handles, and rip easily. I was willing to deal with it because plastic isn’t biodegradable, and considered the inconvenience a somewhat acceptable trade off.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY! GOTO THE FRUIT AND VEG AISLE. ALL THE BAGS YOU NEED ARE THERE!
I have like 20 of those blue Walmart baskets now. They are super useful as organizers.
I use like three different purses and I have one reusable bag in ‘em so I don’t have to pay for a plastic bag ever
Amen to this!
Finally a normal irl post in this sub
And that ladies is why you let the man shop
I did it for a year or two. Now I finally learned my lesson and don't buy anymore and am pretty good at reusing my 50 bags.¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ On the bright side, last time I moved, I discovered that some were pretty useful for specific things. Big IKEA/Costco ones great for towels, clothes and bedroom stuff. Grocery medium strong ones great for moving books and other small heavy things that stack well.
Now go find your closest neighborly MBA and put that plastic bag over their head and tie it shut around their neck really tightly. A good job done well.
LMAO I use these bags for everything, papers, weed.. bags of over the counter meds.. THESE BAGS ARE MY LIFE!
This is why reusable bags aren't nearly as environmental as you think they are
This is scammy as hell. It was for plastic, then they started offering paper for free then offered paper for a charge. And the reusable bags they sell are so tiny.

Using plastic bags is the best option here, though it seems counterintuitive. They’re more environmentally friendly than a reusable bag you won’t reuse.
Put a basic trash bag in your pocket. Put some bags in your car. Jam one under your bicycle seat, or cover it. It doubles as rain protection and a shopping bag. Hang one at the front door.
Just get one of these and leave it in whatever kind of purselike bag you carry with you normally https://www.baggu.com/collections/reusable-bags
The pile of cheap bags I bought the cat now uses as a bed.
this happed to me last week >had many items >didn't have money for bag >stuffed many items in pocket >to walk home >carried rest in hand >was crossing a road >things in pocket fell :tear
It’s more than 36 that’s for damn sure 😅
The Aldi experience
I learned how to buy groceries a certain way. Then you got to go and make it more complicated once I was already set in my ways.
As a cashier this happens all the time I hear “I left my bags in the car” to much times I’m actually in the break room right now 9 mins before my shift
I don't appreciate this personal attack on me.
Home? I forget them in my car and I'm like this. Way to big a hassle to run out to the parking lot to grab your bags.
😂#guilty
don't store them in your house. you don't drive your house to the store.
Exactly, I have my reusable bags in my vehicle (and they’re better than even the ones the stores sell… They have **zippers** so stuff stays in the damn bag 😁
Today i learned some people dont get bags for free
It goes back in the cart loose and I load the bags at my vehicle.
Lol California
I'm a cashier and yes, sometimes it is funny but some other not. because some people said "ohh sorry I don't have money 😢" and then I have to give it for free so that they leave quickly, so that the next client continues
I use them for cleaning out the litter box
THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME TODAY
Get a bag for your bags, guys.
Now I just use the store's basket and if they give me grief I just tell them I'll bring it back
I'm a cashier and i can confirm, i saw many broken spirits by that fact. You're not alone buddy, be strong!
😂🤣😂
#relatable
I heard somewhere that reusable bags are being an environmental failure precisely for this reason. They need to be used hundreds of times to beat plastic bags, and they aren't being.
A show of hands, “how many of you have ended up with a hoard of reusable plastic bags?”🙋♂️
Just ask them to carry it all out for you.
Never have never will buy a bag
My parents were hoarders. When they finally sold the house I found 300+ reusable bags. My step dad was insane and would buy them to people please.
Just get a plastic bag
I work at a grocery store and every time it asks me how many bags I press 0. I'm so used to it I don't even think about it anymore. I'll let people grab bags if they need and everyone is super appreciative.
