Does the DUmmy not realize that there is no requirement to put the purchases into bags? Why not simply put them loosely back into the shopping cart after they have passed the register. It would take a bit longer to load them into a car, but it is doable.
We use the cloth bags but also the plastic ones as the chance for just using cloth bags leads to cross
contamination. Don't want Drano in next to hamburger or fruit. Or meat juices to leak into the cloth.The Shopping carts are the last place I would place unbagged food. Nasty things on all sides. I have seen baby's with full diapers leaking out onto the seat and dripping down the sides of shopping carts.
Not surprising to see more and more shoppers wearing the cheap latex gloves before they handle anything. Just takes once or twice after a real bad tummy ache and trip to the hospital to realise that others before you may have handled the goods after not washing their hands after using the bathroom. Who handled the goods before it got even close to the store ??? Who is stocking the shelves with canned goods or boxed goods, some teenager with a runny nose or bad cough ???
Whole new world for me, today we have to check the caps on pressure packed food to insure no one else had opened it to smell the contents. Wonder about recalls on food that was perfectally safe 6 months ago.
Our world has sure changed in the last few years, wont be long before shoppers go out with those blue lights in pen form to go shopping for something that does not turn up to have some kind of infection on or around it.
I hear Hotels are going nuts over these new things that light up when infection is president. Once the price gets lower for the lights, the Supermarket's will ban them from their stores. We gonna starve or take our chances.
I gave up on Paper bags as when living in the South I found just one roach in the bag and that was it for me.
New Generation, new world, The Travelers Report comes to mind, a cruse ship and the investigators took these black light pens into a very expensive suit to check it out. There was semen on the walls and ceilings, fecal matter on the bed linens and carpets. The bathroom was a Petra's room of 101 viruses and we so often hear of a Cruse ship with half the visitors becoming ill.
