My local supermarket says that the reusable cloth bags are “temporarily” banned from the store.
I don’t see how they reverse course. These germ-laden bags of death are going to be okey-dokey in a few months? The public should just say No.
We were told the same the other day. The clerk said we could bag our own groceries if we wanted to use the reusable bags, or they would bag them in the store bags. I understood that they were letting people know that the reusable bags were not healthy, and I told them to use the store bags. And I support their stand completely.
“These germ-laden bags of death are going to be okey-dokey in a few months?”
What about library books? What about our germ-laden homes? What about the handles on gas pumps? What about railings? How about single-use toilet seats? What about the wind? Someone could sneeze a mile away and I get their germs.
As I said before, contact with germs is the way we become immune to them.
In nyc, people use public transportation. You cant carry stuff in your arms. People put whatever they carry in the floor by their feet. Even in suburbs I put some bags in floor of my car, esp when trunk in full. GERMS.Then those same bags go on cash register counter. Who washes them?
