It’s lovely to hear from you Kathy, and with good news too. I’m pleased that you are able to use your own bags again where you live.
It’s strange how different places handle the shopping bag issue. In the village where I live, one well organised mid-sized shop has a system to control the number of people allowed in at any one time. Even if you’ve only popped in for one item you have to take a wire basket. If there isn’t a basket available you can’t go in and have to wait outside = control system for numbers. But it’s still perfectly normal to bring your own bag and pack into it when the cashier has put your shopping through the till.
Other than a few small bits and pieces from local shops we haven’t been inside a supermarket since February 2020, so I am unable to comment on what happens here in the UK. I see that people ordering using “Click and Collect” are encouraged to bring their own reusable bags to pack the shopping into. We have had our supermarket shopping delivered for over a year now, and it’s a long time since it ALL arrived in plastic bags. Now only a few items are in plastic (fish, raw meat, mostly) and that’s in spite of ticking the “no plastic bags” box when ordering. 🙁
Can other morsbaggers comment on reusable bag use where they live now that life is returning towards a tentative sort of normal?
