Catch me in line breaking down the boxes of the things I bought so I can construct a carrying device

The grocery we use keeps boxes by the checkout. Saves them throwing them out, since they get hundreds from suppliers.

Ooh yeah I've seen this at a few stores, great practice.

Right. Is everyone going to clap after too?

[–] HowAbt2morrow@futurology.today 3 points 2 months ago

Some, like me, will even shed tears of joy and pride, ask for selfies and autographs.

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

It's kinda weird around here, because the law doesn't ban paper bags, but all the stores around me stopped carrying them in favor of thicker 'reusable' plastic bags.

At least the 'reusable' plastic bags fold up and fit nice in my purse, so I can actually reuse them, but I'm pretty sure most people treat them as single use plastic.

Have you ever bought food before?

Different places, different laws

I'm thinking his parents are the ones that go grocery shopping.

Here you can still find paper bags (and even plastic bags if you ask). I guess the other commenter lives somewhere similar

They live in the US
