daisychain said "Does anyone know what's up with having to ask for bags at the self checks out now? Not the end of the world, but a bit inconvenient if you have to wait for the attendant while they help someone.
Probably to reduce waste, be environmentally friendly, and get people to bring reusable bags. "
I reuse every single bag I get from the grocery store. They are my garbage bags and kitty litter bags. If I didn’t reuse the bags from the grocery store I would end up buying single use Glad bags or whatever. It would work out to the same thing except the Glad bags would be used only once whereas the grocery store ones get used twice.
