Plastic-bag ban catches some Seattle shoppers by surprise

What really gets me is when they ride around on their powered shopping carts and you have to try and manuever around them in the aisles.

You sound like a 300 lb drooling woman-aphobe to me

sgreger1: Actually, yes Well, sort of. I have a drawer full of them and use them as waste bin lining (the bigger ones) and waste bags (the smaller). I never bought a single waste bag

And to clarify: there was no *shortage* of these bags. The practice of giving them out just because you bought a product was just something unheard, unthinkable... You could buy a shopping bag, but no shops ever gave them out with each (or any, for that matter) purchase. You could know who is going shopping, because they were carrying bags.

I do the same thing with my bags from the store, they get re-used as trash can liners, especially for those small bathroom trashcans!

I'm trying to find a good "In Soviet Russia, plastic bags you!" joke in here someewhere but I can't seem to find it.

We use our bags as trash can liners as well. Something tells me this whole plastic grocery bag ban has been heavily supported by the trash bag industry.

We do too, you may actually be on to something here. Always follow the money to your answer.
