      They got rid of paper bags to save the trees, now plastic bags for some reason. They’re becoming save a lot or cost plus stores, bring your own bags, just cut open boxes and put them on the shelves. If someone buys 2 carts of groceries what do they do?

    What happens when a shopper buys $200.00 worth of merchandise and doesn’t have paper or plastic bags?

      Just put the items back in the shopping cart and push it out to the car. It becomes the responsibility of the shopper to provide bags or boxes to get from car into the house.
