lol. I am sure the grocery stores are making big bucks using those self use check outs. I literally saw a lady put the big bag of tomatoes and put in buns as the item. I was waiting for her to finish which is why I saw her...when she looked up and saw me, she said, “Oh I made a mistake” and called the helper.....Yeah sure lady!!!!!!

They instituted a plastic bag ban in my town. To get the grocery stores to go along, they added a 5 cent fee for brown paper bags, ostensibly to encourage people to buy re-usable bags. The stores figured they’d make $300k per year with that fee. I wonder if it’s enough to off-set the shoplifting.

On the bright side, they are getting the increased shoplifting exactly in the places dumb enough to enact these laws.

Next step will be to replace them with high margin Asian-owned convenience stores. Owners which, by the way, will be armed and ready.

Ya gotta know this is all coming about because of those asinine "self-esteem" classes they force the young "skulls full o mush" to be indoctrinated with in public school.

They grow up to be legislative staff, who then run for an office of their own (even though they're truly ignorant of human nature) and pass these totally idiotic mandates on all the citizen/taxpayers who just want to be left the hell alone!!!

Love your scream name!!!

This is happening in Austin since they enacted the reusable bag ban. I am thinking along another line. What would stop a terrorist from packing a bomb into a bag and stuff a few more bags on top. Leave the bomb in a cart and go outside to detonate it with the shoppers inside.

Of course, no shoplifting ever happens because of unemployment after benefits run out, general poverty, employees being cut back to 28 hours a week, etc.

Now that the Leftists know about this new, and unexpected benefit, of ‘reusable’ bag laws, there is going to be a REAL push to bring this nationwide.

Leftists are nothing if they can’t be vindictive.

Not to mention the health hazards of using reuseable grocery bags. It appears that e-coli finds these bags a good home. E-coli is easil spread this way and these bags need to be cleaned/disinfected regularly.
