REUSABLE SHOPPING BAGS IN FOOD STORES?

[chrizzy100]

I like to pack my own bags..hubby always leaves something behind in a carousel..I don't like self checkout unless I have just one or two items

If Walmart wanted you to use your own bags they would have to make some alterations to there check outs, your own bags would probably not hang properly on there carousel. (You would also need a lot of bags if the cashier was packing them[msnsmile2])

Here when you use your own bags you use self checkout..so you place your goods in your own bag after you scan them..the large trolley bags that fix onto the trolley are good.. but hard to find..I have bags from a lot of places you'd not expect like the Blues Bothers shop in Disney..I send them home to the UK as cheap gifts..

I've never had a full bag yet, quite often they put two items in it and consider it full. Not exactly green.

To be fair, they do offer in the UK but I always decline. I'd rather do it myself. And the Walmart checkouts are much slower than in the UK.

Funny thing though, I'd still rather do my weekly shop there given the choice, even if it did take me a week.

I hope everyone remembers to wash their bags..a report out was saying about the bugs found in them..that they could be a problem to public health..

I always use a non reusable bag for raw meat.
