Sprouts is the kind of store I wouldn't go in to only because of the other people who do...
Sprouts is planning to eliminate single-use plastic bags in all of their stores across the nation. The giant grocer will also stop providing paper bags.
Sprouts stores are already canceling the bags as 132 of its California stores are free from single-use plastics. The grocery chain has about 380 stores across 23 states and plans to remove more than 200million of the bags from circulation each year. Sprouts will offer its customers reusable bags made from 40 percent post-consumer recycled material - but at a cost.
Ya see - I don't have a problem with an independent retailer making a decision like this because we have the power to decide for ourselves if we wanna shop there or not. Shit, Aldi has never provided bags as far as I know, but I know that's one of the ways they keep their prices down, so I'm cool with it.
What I'm not cool with is when the government gets involved in shit like this - like in NJ where the State passed a law banning the use and ditribution of paper and plastic bags statewide. That became a clusterfuck of global proportions. I have friends who've admitted having 30, even 40 of those 'eco-friendly' reusable bags at home now.

The bill, which Gov. Ron DeSantis has indicated he will sign, loosens the state’s already minimal gun laws, removing a layer of background checks, licensing and firearm training.
In recent months, DeSantis has called the bill “something that I’ve always supported.” If he does sign it, Florida will become the 26th state to have such a law.

No list of tourist traps would be complete without mentioning Virginia City, Nevada....The whole damn town....
ReplyDeleteDisneyland/Disneyworld too...
ReplyDeleteW/M in WA is eliminating bags next month
ReplyDeleteI do shop at Sprouts here in Kansas. There are a few things I get there that I can get nowhere else. So, my solution to the no-bag issue is to just bring my own plastic bag. Problem solved.
ReplyDeleteThe whole point of doggie-poo regulations is a strong push to get rid of dogs.
ReplyDeleteIf owners don't walk dogs at all hours of the day and night, you no longer have a "volunteer" neighborhood surveillance corps thereby increasing all types of local crimes.
Dogs (as pooping pets) are the key to reducing neighborhood crime.
The Hofbrauhaus deserves to be further up the list. Mediocre food and warm biersteins. It's an insult to German food and drink and yes, I speak from experience.
ReplyDeleteI have been to 4 of the Tourist Traps.
ReplyDeleteSprouts doesn't get my business because they don't recognize my Second Amendment rights.
ReplyDeleteI first visited Checkpoint Charlie when it was an actual crossing point into East Berlin - definitely worth seeing, then .
ReplyDeleteNow, it's just a little booth next to a mediocre museum - I doubt that most people even know it still ( sort of ) exists, or why it was ever important .
