I have recently started using re-usable shopping bags when I do my grocery shopping. I don't use them because I'm a 'green' person, or to help the environment, but because I'm tired of all of the plastic bags around the house. I try not to throw them away, but recycle them when I go to Wal-Mart, so they would just sit around my house and pile up until hubby or I actually remembered to take them with us when we went shopping.
Even though I may not be doing it for the "right" reason, I should be proud for doing my part to keep these plastic bags out of the landfills. So why do I feel like cashiers and people behind me in line are both rolling their eyes at me for being one of those people? It may take a little extra time for the cashier to put the little bag in the bag holders, but so what?
But one negative thing I have discovered with using these re-usable bags? For some reason these cashiers think that the re-usable bags are unbreakable and can hold anything and everything until it is filled to the brim...no matter what the weight! The bag only costs a buck, how sturdy can they possibly be?
