[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 186847, member: 179"] They use both paper and plastic. It's a tough call. On one hand, the company is very enviromentally concerned so you think they'd use paper, but they're 3 times as expensive as plastic. We sell a lot of the cloth bags. The plastic bags are shaped in a square so you can get more in them than usual. Also, it's an older population so you can't make them too heavy. They say 15lbs. is the max, but I can't imagine some of them lifting that much. I swear I loaded two flatbeds of 12-pack soda today. I'm sure I'll feel it tonight. When it's on sale, they buy a good dozen of them. It seems silly, but when you're busy, you need to be efficient. So when I see Grandma come through, I offer to take her sodas out of the cart...belt them, run them back to her cart because you can't put bags in if you don't. Needless to say, I actually broke a sweat today. Doesn't happen too often for me. ;) I hate to see it when cases of bottled water go on sale. Yes, it is odd that they train baggers, but I can see why it is important. For someone my age who has grocery shopped all these years, it's just logical. But for a 16 year old it is not. Bread on bottom...a few cans of spaghetti sauce on top, toss in some eggs, then a few more cans. Duh. Oh wait, I can put this bag of chips in, squish it down then a few more cans. Witz...we LOVE people like you!! Abbey [/QUOTE]
