[QUOTE="richg99, post: 459877, member: 4376"] At a recent BS session with fellow fishermen, the topic of plastic bags came up. I commented that, when I go to the grocery store, I check-out and bag my items myself. The result of ten or 12 items is usually one, or at the most, two plastic bags. When I go through the regular check-out lanes, I go home with 6 or 7 plastic bags. I understand that the check-out person has been trained to keep various items separate. i.e. open food items don't go in the same bag as laundry soap. Beer always goes in a separate plastic bag. On and on and that is how I wind up with 7 bags. It seems to this old codger that the stores could SIMPLY ASK.."do you mind if we combine some of the items?". I would still wind up with 3 or 4 bags, because they wouldn't put the same stuff together as would I, but...... Sheesh....that is cutting in half the bags that they send home with me, that either get thrown out or have to go through a recycling process. Simple solution....and simple to implement...if anyone in a position of power would listen. richg99 [/QUOTE]
