Went to the local Supermarket yesterday & asked several people how they felt about the bag ban. Unanimously, they endorsed it. Not a single complaint.

Interesting individual, I have read reports that our IQ has been falling of late, but I didn't realise it has fallen so far so quickly.

Hasbeen,
?? Is that an egotist thing I'm not getting ?

Individual, I don't know where you live or went to get this shining endorsement, but let me correct you with a fact; if you read my previous comment, only a couple ago, you will see that the topic of single use plastic bags made news here only yesterday.
The backlash and anger was that serious that Woolys had to start GIVING AWAY the 15c re-usable bags for free, for at least the next couple of weeks till either something is resolved or the customers calm down.
Everything in the retail/sales world is consumer driven.
You can push your ideological agenda as much as you like, but if it is not popular, it's not popular.
Now the main reason I get pissed off with anyone pushing something is that they insist that they are better than those who disagree and show their true ignorant and low cast left selves by their language and attitude.
I've got news for you all;
Just because you think your right and don't have the guts to stand and fight but rather take the easy way out by simply looking at something with tunnel vision, does not make you right.
It just makes you look stubborn, petulant and narrow or even closed minded.
Those of you who oppose my views must think I disagree with you just because I feel like it.
Not so.
I disagree because the people I speak of don't think of the implications or ramifications of what they are promoting.
Of course I don't want plastic littering everywhere and so many other things that the left pushes, but at least I try to find a solution before I 'pull the plug', unlike those I speak of,who have a 'I don't care' attitude and care not about the resultant disasters they create and leave behind as a result of their actions and agenda.
Those of you who wish to take your own bags probably have been doing so forever.
Good for you.
Those who prefer the plastic bags, might have to settle for the ones that turn to dust after a few days.

Seems some posters give reason for me to be proud, almost any thing I support brands me leftist, these new bags will take much longer to rot,see Aldi bags,and they will end up in land fill, even bottles, now being returned to be recycled may well end there too, if it is not economical to re use the glass.
large paper bags could have paid advertising on them to cut the costs

Dear Belly,

Thank You for raising this issue.

At least we are having a discussion - which is a start.
