Plastic bag bans are to be introduced in the Territory some time in the future. I for one support it. Not so much the environmental impact, but how customers, particularly Asians ask for a plastic bag for small things, casuing shortages at pissweak times. Woolies is supposed to follow a Less than 3 item=No Plastic bag policy but given that if the customer asks for one, it's useless. It just shits me that customers will ask for a plastic bag just for something like a can of dog food they can easily carry.
But what I find ironic is that customers were complaining to keep the plastic bags...yet at the same time demand Aldi come to Darwin, a supermarket that cuts costs at every corner INCLUDING having a BYO bag policy.
Yeah, Asians often do it for annoying things that they can easily carry.
What annoys me more is when old people want seperate bags for everything. Example:
"The dried apricots can go in a bag by itself".
The fucking apricots were dried in a plastic package sized smaller than a DVD cover. I'm thinking WHAT?!
Old people seem to think the stuff they buy is platinum, like their newspaper (which they use once and throw out), their shopping (untill they eat it and never see it again), etc.
I do not put toilet paper in a bag, i just chuck it in the bagging area.
Also, if I have finished packing a toiletries bag and dont have it on my rack, and a hair shampoo comes through after, I say "do you want to put this in the other bag?"
I try and save the most bags I can, and in self serve also.
Annoys me.
