Serious question: Why?
What is the plastic bag providing you that a canvas bag (or whatever) cannot?
Serious question: Why?
Serious question: Why the outrage? Why is the grocery store the asshole here? Do you really think Amazon wouldn't do the exact same thing? Is this strictly a "I live in North America and we're not the problem" thing?
Give him convenience, or give him death.
I thought I was clear.
Because I'm the customer and I don't want to have to deal with bringing my own bags.
So if Kroger was taking a financial loss on the bags, then you'd be ok with them? What if it turns out they are? What if they're simply breaking even?GORDON wrote: I thought I was clear.
This move by Kroger isn't about saving the environment, no matter what they say. It's already been illustrated that the plastics problem isn't *here.*. This move is going to save them the cost of plastic bags, they will make profit selling reusable ones with their logo on it so you can advertise for them, and it won't make a difference in the environment.
I'll bet in your whole life you've never bitched about pumping your own gas. Do you complain at a buffet when you're scooping up your own food? How about at Subway when you're pouring your own drink? How about at the grocery store when you're picking out the food you want, checking it all out, and then putting it into bags?
When it's 100 degrees out or 5 below, yes... I've bitched about having to pump my own gas. Have you ever paid someone else to do the manual labor around the house (mowing the yard or whatever) while paying to go work out at the gym? Do you like screwing hot chicks but don't like screwing fat ugly chicks? Why not? They're basically the same! They both have boobs and front holes!Leisher wrote: I'll bet in your whole life you've never bitched about pumping your own gas. Do you complain at a buffet when you're scooping up your own food?

Trying to be more inclusive
Never.
I've gone hogging. Why don't you? Bigot.
I wasn't trying to hippie shame you. I simply don't understand your logic. It's such a minor "inconvenience", yet would have a direct and measurable impact upon the environment. Kroger, being the worldwide grocer king, doing this means everyone else is going to follow suit. Imagine all those plastic bags worldwide being eliminated.
I wonder if that's an option? They're biodegradable. The more we use wood, the more trees get planted.
Do you honestly think that hasn't already happened a lot with the plastic bags? People save those things and use them for lunch bags and general storage. Stop trying to eliminate Darwinism.
I forget where that came from.
I thought you posted it? Maybe it was Vince... Ah, it was Vince.
