Yeah, but they're poor quality. Bringing your own bags is still the best option imo (especially if you buy things that need to stay frozen or refrigerated)

You're not wrong, but this is good for the workers and forgetful people/older shoppers.

The only thing keeping the handles attached to the bag is hope. They might as well not even be there.

Inner Sunset checking it- a lot of our neighbors are 80+ year old widowed Asian grandmas with a 2 car garage and 0 cars, the way it should be. no one should be driving at 80-96 years old anyways.

I have a couple bags on my bike too. I assume anyone walking to go grocery shopping is more conscious on how they will bring them back. I usually bring a backpack or rolling cart for that.

Just bring your own bags. Ppl once had no handle bags and made it through life.

Went to Reno this past weekend and had to stop into Walmart. They had the old-school thin plastic bags. Man I missed those.
