The bags I get from Fred Meyer are so awkwardly shaped and crinkly I haven't been able to find another use for them. I used to reuse the old plastic bags all the time. To scoop cat litter into, small garbage can liners.. but these are wide and shallow, you can't even tie them closed. They're so ridiculous they barely hold groceries.
My state has plastic shopping bag bans across (most of?) the state and I feel like it's completely backfired.
Now, instead of those thin plastic bags everyone used to get, people are charged 20 cents for a "reausable" bag, which is still a shitty bag that no one seriously reuses or wants, but it's thick plastic, like thick, crunchy, and indestructible. Maybe double the plastic waste.
I TRY to remember my (actual) reusable bags, I really do. But sometimes I forget and I wind up with these big thick bags I don't want to reuse and wind up throwing out or "recycling" (which probably means shippibg then to the Philippines).
I also do curbside grocery pickup frequently and the ONLY option is to get those thick "reusable" bags with your order. Otherwise the grocery employee (who can't accept tips) will need to individually place each item in my car one at a time.
The thin plastic disposable bags were better. Paper bags would be better. This 20 cents for a "reausable" bag loophole is total bullshit.
It sounds so much harder than just reading.
But I believe it. I work in law and often need clients to respond in writing to questions (so we have a record of their answers). The barely-coherent poorly-spelled responses we get are astonishing - and often from pretty well educated, smart people with high level jobs (after all, they can afford a lawyer).
Agreed. I feel like participating in posts that have waaaay more participation on Reddit and that OP will never ever see is just... Stupid
I just read the gilded series by Marissa Meyer and this MUST be the castle at Adelheid!
Yes, that worked! Thank you, I subbed. I wonder why it didn't come up in my search before
I tried to find your community and it didn't come up in my search. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if there is something wrong with the community
I'm not saying it's because they're not cute anymore, I'm saying it's because people around them stop being so kind and gentle with them.
That's a good question about users with the same name. I haven't wanted to try other instances because I thought I'd need to think up multiple new usernames... But maybe I don't? Interesting.
