Bags & Take out boxes illegal per CO Interest Group

[ray1970]

People are going to be filling their pockets with produce at the checkout lines.

If you stick the produce in your pockets before getting to the checkout you can save a few bucks on your groceries and just not pay for them. They barely prosecute people for murder these days. I can imagine the consequences of shoplifting are nearly nonexistent.

I reuse the bags for lunches and wastebasket liners... they are not being tossed into the river. They get filled with trash then are placed inside a full sized trashbag with other trash.

Heathen.

If you kept those bags out of the landfill and recycled them instead maybe they wouldn?t be taking them from us.

Remember?

When all bags are outlawed, only outlaws will use bags.

Our new takeout boxes are sugarcane and begin breaking down after about 30 minutes with green chili in them and are double the cost. As for bags, it was $40 for 1000, now the reusable are $45 for 100.

The south likes their plastic bags.. I’ve been working at a number of job sites throughout Georgia, Florida and currently coastal Alabama the last year or two and any store you walk in to you are going to get a plastic bag. Buy a candy bar? They are putting it in to a plastic bag before you can even get your money out of your pocket.

Bought 2 cases at Sam?s when the .10 tax went into play. Have new bags for a long time. We go through self checkout at Soopers and always decline the bag tax but leave with bags of groceries that we reuse at Wally World. My kids told me I was stealing and I educated them on taxes and the bureaucracy that the 0.10 goes to, now they are on board and we have been keeping what we earn, haha.

When asked the question at king soopers. "How many bags would you like to purchase?" I always hit 0 no matter how many I used. Never challenged.

Integrity much?

I was at a local big box retail establishment this morning. I had a handful of small items so I asked for (and probably paid for) a bag. The checkout person made reference to the fact that very soon they would not have bags available period. I guess I?ll have to learn to juggle or make sure I remember to bring my own bags.

If there was an easy way for me to load a full shopping cart into the bed of my truck I?d just take the cart home with me and unload everything when I get home and bring their cart back on my next trip.

Produce bags are still exempt and plentiful, they're even on a handy roll.

Just saying.

Also, when we exhaust our "reusable" plastic bags we'll have to buy those little bathroom trash bags - and throw them in the landfill instead. So where's the logic in outlawing these? (Rhetorical question).
