Australian supermarkets work to prevent "bag rage" as plastics ban takes effect

You do realize that the bags attract bugs and cockroaches are known to lay eggs in the glue and then hatch?

Awe, poor babies. You wanted your nanny state, well, there you go

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's biggest supermarket chains are scrambling to combat "bag rage" as frustrated shoppers vent their anger over the removal of single-use plastic bags.

One man put his hands around a supermarket worker's throat, the West Australian newspaper reported, while grocery stores are putting on more staff to help customers get used to the change.

The removal of single-use plastics is part of a national push to reduce waste.

Where are all the videos 'bag rage' when all supermarkets used paper bags? There was none, it wasn't even a thought or a term. Dumb. And if you think 'bag rage' is a thing wait until a whackjob rightwing Supreme Court overturns Roe V Wade.

That rage will be real and unlike anything seen before it.

What bags. No one has every heard of such a thing about paper, plastic, or any other bag. You have a bad experience 50 years ago?

Get them conservatives to have their illegal slaves wash the bags like most of us libs do.

And a 2013 article says a lot.

No bags?

No purchase.

Just leave the contents of the cart on the belt and walk away.

Order it from Amazon instead and have it delivered to your door in a nice big box with lots of little plastic air pillows inside for cushioning.

Enough stuff abandoned at the registers will quickly bring on alternatives. Or closed stores.

Just curious where the leap from plastic bags to abortion came from?

He has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

He is also a complete blithering idiot who needs 24 hour observation in a padded cell.

Just when I had this nebulous growing respect for Aussies they gotta be hatters about ...plastic bags. Could a Australian explain this to me? Relax, kids, you are among friends here. I know plenty of yanks that get pissed off over similar issues... OK , somewhere in the middle of the Pacific is something called "Gilligan's Island", the size of Texas, of floating plastic trash. That is actually a real concern.

I remember the huge deal telling everyone to use plastic to save the trees.

What a good little consumer you are, remembering your programming so well. I hope you do everything 'they' tell you to do.

Cons get triggered over plastic bags, incandescent light bulbs, cars that get more than 8 miles per gallon, collecting energy from the sun, drinking clean water, breathing clean air, following the Constitution, being Christians rather than just claiming to be Christians while their dear leader treats children like animals.

Cons you have become the victim class of America. You, in your minds, are victimized by everyone everyday for everything. And yes I know I am victimizing you right now online I'm sure. Your snowflake triggers are already in hyperdrive by now.

Can't see that closely. Mostly colors. Of the objects that can be identified by their designed use, they're all heavier than grocery bags -- which would have blown away.

But that doesn't mean they don't still exist somewhere else. Or didn't you think of that?

What do you suppose plastic grocery bags are made out of? Take a wild guess.
