Jayesh A Lalwani wrote:However, for the trash what we have done is that we use a bathroom trash can for our kitchen trash.
Jayesh A Lalwani wrote: You might want to look for bathroom trash bags. I know you can get them online or at a home store. I haven't seen a grocery store carry them, although its worth trying out for you. If they have banned plastic bags, others will have the same problem, and grocery stores might find it profitable to start carrying them.

One politician argued about this by saying he typically uses 10 to 15 bags on a shopping trip and that it would be impractical to carry that many reusable bags. He misses the point that reusable bags are stronger/hold more so we wouldn't need so many bags.

Up in arms in Massachusetts of all places!
I know Austin. Before long you won't be able to do much there that isn't a strange mix of Texas and politically correct, I fear.
I hope Austin had a specific problem with the bags and that it wasn't just a sociopath grabbing self-determination from you
Bear Bibeault wrote:I understand for people that don't drive, it might be a bit more inconvenient to carry bags, but how many groceries can a walking person carry? And is it a problem to carry the small number of bags that would accommodate what one person can reasonably carry?

Where I live now, you can walk into a restaurant and breathe tobacco smoke. You might not like the smell of tobacco smoke, but it does smell like freedom

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
