    I do have a work around for this issue.
    Go to the produce section and calculate how many bags you will need for your total purchase and stuff them in the bag with your lettuce/potatoes/onions etc.
    Do your shopping as normal and at the check out select “0” bags when prompted.
    Pull out produce bags, bag groceries as normal.
    Walk out.

    Fuck you, you don’t charge for “produce” bags….

    Default Net Bags?

    Maybe some veterans will make reusable bags out of 550 cord.

    Could always walk in with your battle belt on and use the dump pouch for your bag..

    It's nice to see there is something we all seem to agree on. This thread has been cracking me up.

    I thought about that. One of those would last forever. I have a few of those net bags that were given to me twenty plus years ago. They're made of cotton or hemp and much easier to carry around than the bags sold at the grocery stores. They've been super handy over the years. I've used one for small game and on fishing trips.

    I think I have a work around.
    Go to self check out. Pay yourself In bags. Your labor is not free.

    Self checkout asks how many bags you would like to be charged for... but their bags tear open and really aren't that useful... then the State and the store split each dime 60/40. Feel free to voluntarily donate whatever you feel those bags are worth.

    King Soopers asks "How many bags would you like to purchase?"

    The answer to that is remarkably consistent, regardless of what number I actually input.

    One of the more annoying things (among plenty of annoying things) is that when you take your own bags and put one on the counter so you can fill them . . . the checkout system thinks you didn't scan something and it hangs up. So then you get to wait for the highy qualified self-checkout helper to come clear the system for erroring due to your bags that you brought because they required them in the first place.

    I actually bought a couple boxes of plastic bags at Sam's to use for dog poo disposal . . . then my dog had to be put down. I'm tempted to just start taking those and use my own plastic bags for maximum triggering.

    Funny. I think something like this happened to me yesterday. Scanned some stuff and filled a bag. Set my second bag up where I could fill it and when I went to scan I had some weird error message. When the lady came over to clear it she mumbled something that I couldn?t quite understand other than something about bringing my own bags.
