Finally... Should have happened a long time ago.

Oh yes now we have to pay for a bag to take things home after already paying for goods. More money for the big boys. They should provide them free. Most people use the old bags for other things. Now we will still buy other bin bags etc, still plastic.

Thicker plastic bags, goody goody. Would have been better to educate the consumers about how to get rid of degradable, and bio-degradable plastic bags, not hard to do. Those same uneducated people will invariably throw the thicker ones away and choke a bigger dolphin.

The multi-use bags are a worse environmental problem. They take longer to break down, they are made of synthetic materials too.

I work at Woolies, have in both ACT and NSW. In ACT customers fill their bags as much as possible but when I worked in a NSW store, the customers wanted one item per bag pretty much! Now that was a big waste. So I guess anything is better than that?

The NT did away with bags years ago. You can still get them but cost like at Aldi. So we get used to taking our own cloth bags. The rest of the states could do the same. Get used to it like anything else.

What a wonderful job so far... so entertaining to be receiving these posts while I serve customers in the supermarket in Mallacoota. Please keep them up.
