Yeah, well THEY would have been putting back all the groceries as I would have just walked away. The more they try to control our actions the more those of us who still believe in freedom should be exercising our liberties.
Excellent article.

Big downside to reusable bags: http://uanews.org/node/32521
They probably ran out of the 5 cent bags.
I go to a store like that - rock bottom cheap - you bag/box your own groceries - bring a bag, find a box on the shelf, buy one or load loose groceries into a clothes basket and cooler in the car (I see a lot of people do that)
These guys work on low margins - no meat cutters, deli, no baggers...no extra expense of giving out free bags (they cost money)
I went there the other day and everything went up 20 cents or more - ugh.(they held the prices as long as they could)
I wouldn’t eat food from a place called Bottom Dollar. You get what you paid for, and that’s a pay that says “not fit for human consumption”. They very well might have just run out of the bags. Our dollar stores (where I like to buy DVDs, such a fun random selection) do weird unprofessional stuff like that all the time, I’ve seen them with only 1 door unlocked, no manned registers, they’re very easily confused.
I agree with those who think this is a cost-cutting move, rather than some sort of a green conspiracy. I also think it’s hilarious to complain about a supermarket trying to “nudge”/manipulate consumer choices. EVERYTHING about any supermarket is designed to manipulate your choices - from overall layout to product placement to lighting to signage, and so on.
Vitamin Cottage has been doing that: No bags. Their attitude is condescending and rude. If you don’t have a bag or box they snap at a bin of their boxes and scoff. I havent been back in several years now but their parking lot is never busy. Liberal bulsh*t never sells.
“I decided on option number three, which was to put back all my groceries and walk away”
There is NO WAY that would have put anything back. I would have just left them the shopping cart full of items...and most likely they would be required to throw out the perishables.
So if plastic bags are outlawed, what does one use to clean up after fido when out on a daily walk?
There is also a no frills chain in PA called Amelias. They specialize in close out products and even some post dated items at a very deep discount. As far as dating, many products, canned and boxed goods, have a Sell By Date or a Best If Used By Date. That doesnt mean that the product suddenly turns rancid on that date. In fact the Sell By Dates factor in that the product will not necessarily be used and consumed on or by the Sell By Date. Many years ago, I worked as a dairy dept. manager for a large grocery chain. Milk is a good example of the Sell By Date milk is good for 5 7 days after the Sell By Date. Other items like processed cheese or margarine are perfectly fine to eat in most cases, long after the expiration date as long as theyve been stored at the proper temperature.
IMO, if you are going to go to a deep discount food store, you have to expect that in return for the savings, youre not going to get all the frills and services that regular grocery stores offer.
