Paper or plastic

you use the paper bags as trash bags for your recycle bin so you can throw the whole thing in the recycle bin, not an amazing reason but good enough, and fuck those flimsy paper handles they alwyase break, just don't put them on. i guess we counter it by having the recycling truck come every week and the trash every other week... only in Portland. But yes fruits and small shit was meant to go in plastic.

 
OMG HELLO MY FELLOW BAGGER! but jesus this is so true. if you have damn boxes, dont ask for plastic, if you have a shit ton of fruit, dont ask for paper. simple as that. Also, most companies used recycled plastic to make plastic bags because the type of plastic isnt very important, so its not very bad for the environment.
 
Ontario put a mandatory 10 cent charge on bags a few years ago. I thought it was foolish at first, but it has actually really increased the number of people using reusable bags. Great idea.
 
Paper, mainly because i fucking hate condoms and they are plastic. cuz this one time i was driving around a walmart parking lot looking for a hooker but since none showed up i just picked up my cousin. we drove to the abandoned marine base in my town and started fucking like rabbits. so i wanna go anal and we have no lube so at walmart i just bought pushpops and rubbed them on my dick. We are fucking so hard and then this gay fucking cop comes up and makes me put on a condom and steals all my fucking pushpops

i thought you were going to ask if we prefer to pay for things with cash or credit/debit

i wish i carried cash around, but i never do. it'd be way easier than paying those shitty $2.50 transaction fees at bars and shit. i use credit pretty much all the time unless its something super cheap at a corner store or whatever, in which case debit.
 
dude.. get real.

that simple tax is helping by making shoppers avoid using a surplus of bags. if you honestly think your freedom is threatened by that, kindly go pound sand.
 
Where I live in Bellingham WA, a law passed last summer where plastic bags have been completely removed from all stores. Paper bags are available, but it costs 5 cents for every paper bag. The law encourages people to bring their own reusable bags.

It doesnt bother me. I usually end up having all these plastic bags everywhere that just get thrown away. You cant really "recycle" them either. I use a paper bag as a recycle bin underneath the kitchen sink. The law went into effect a couple weeks ago. Tote bags ftw.
 
I rarely use bags cause then you just have more shit to throw away, plus, what is it with walmart cashiers putting each item in its own bag? Fuck you, cashier, my mountain dew needs no satchel, nor my velveeta microwave shells & cheese.
 
I bring my own. Mostly because their huge, so I only have to take one trip into the house when I'm bringing them in.

When It comes to condoms I normally go for the always classy brown lunch bag/ rubber band combo
 
dude there is no excuse for a new/more taxes, you really think the govt implemented this tax to help the environment-get real, its a new revenue stream to capatalize on the green movement, im all for helping the earth in this case by using reasuable bags which i usually do (it is nice to have plastice to clean up dog poop when i walk my dog) but a new tax is no way to do it.
 
Reusable bags whenever feasible, and CERTAINLY if I am going to be buying a large quantity of food. Load those fuckers to the top, as heavy as possible. Gallons of milk, watermelons? No problem, toss them in the bottom. I loathe plastic bags for large amounts of groceries.
 
A man who wants the most efficient way to carry all their $150s worth of grocerys into the house in one single trip.

That is who bags their milk.

:P
 
I guess it depends on how you're buying your milk, whether carton or jug. A carton I'd def put in a bag since its square and less weight. But a jug? Nah haha.
 
Gallon jug, fits the width of a reusable bag perfectly and creates a brilliant base for layering other items on. Great to top the bag with produce as it keeps things cool.

I find it far more convenient than keeping the milk out separate.
 
no idea honestly, look at smoking (i know you cant compare the two), tons of increased taxes, but the average number of people who smoke hasnt deviated much from around 20-21% over a bunch of years.

Maybe I'm just bitter haha, I use plastics for a ton of things from carrying my lunch to cleaning up dog poop, instead of reusing these bags now ill have to buy some other plastic engendered carrying device-dang.
 
If you're being sarcastic, you're a dumbass. It's a great incentive to bring your own bags. If everyone brought their own bags, it would make a pretty huge difference. But you're right, spending 5 cents>the environment.
 
This may not be true for you: but where I live, my newspaper comes in these ~10" bags that are perfect for poop pick-up. Then again, you may also have to pick up your dog's waste every time. Mine just go in a section of the yard.
 
Get out. I'd take the reusable bag with structure that can be loaded to the brim over some flimsy plastic bag with the structural integrity of tissue paper any day.

If you find bagging a reusable bag difficult, you must be atrocious at Tetris.
 
Relatively speaking, is bagging any bag really THAT big of a pain in the ass? I can think of worse things in the world.
 
no im a bagger and its a pain in the ass when you have 4 different sized bags opposed to the ones iim used to useing. it takes longer
 
i have to ring people out and bag screw the reuseable ones, save your plastic bags and use them for trash/dirty clothes or burn them we do so much worse things for the environment than the bags, theyre like a drop in the oceanplus if you get the reuseable ones and if you arent a disgusting pig they need to be washed wasting water, heat, and detergent
 
I never said anything about reusables, I'm saying use your own bags. That could mean plastic ones. There's no reason to use em once and throw them out.
