In England we call them “bags for life” which I imagine is because they will just stay around forever and multiply because you keep forgetting them.
when you inevitably accrue a metric fuck-ton of these please remember that a lot of charity shops (at least the ones in the UK) are grateful for them
If you live in an area with bag fees, you probably also have yard waste / compost bins. I take the paper bags for gardening and compost. 5 or 10 cents for a compost bag ain't too shabby.
That’s why I leave them in the trunk of the car. I still forget them when I walk into the store but I don’t bag anything inside the store just put it back in the cart and bag it outside.
I leave a pile by the front door so I take them to my car next time I go out
Speaking of forgetful, don't forget to run those bags through the wash every now and then.
Those things will harbor some nasty bacteria if you let them.

Hopefully this is just a meme because if you actually do this it's more wasteful than just using a disposable bag once and bringing your reusable ones next time.
This post is a meme.
It's about a situation that happens in reality all the time.
And yes, it's the reason why widespread random banning of things has usually worse results than doing nothing.
Hopefully this is just a meme

Yeah, I think this might be a meme. We need more investigation though.
Provided that you're not throwing the excess out, it's not too bad? They're reusable but they do wear out eventually, and when that happens you can just draw from the backlog.
Alternatively you can always use them for other things - I don't keep 37 of them, but the handful I have I'm always using for stuff which isn't just groceries.
Many places aren't allowed to give disposable ones anymore.
At all?? They don't even have paper bags?
It's kinda weird around here, because the law doesn't ban paper bags, but all the stores around me stopped carrying them in favor of thicker 'reusable' plastic bags.
At least the 'reusable' plastic bags fold up and fit nice in my purse, so I can actually reuse them, but I'm pretty sure most people treat them as single use plastic.
Have you ever bought food before?
Nope never I'm a lil baby
Apparently
Different places, different laws
I'm thinking his parents are the ones that go grocery shopping.
Here you can still find paper bags (and even plastic bags if you ask). I guess the other commenter lives somewhere similar
They live in the US
Yes
Catch me in line breaking down the boxes of the things I bought so I can construct a carrying device
The grocery we use keeps boxes by the checkout. Saves them throwing them out, since they get hundreds from suppliers.

Right. Is everyone going to clap after too?
Some, like me, will even shed tears of joy and pride, ask for selfies and autographs.
Yep and that wave of communal fervor will usher in sweeping changes reinstating the noble paper bag
If you’re driving, just load it into your cart, then load it into your car, then load it into your bag, and take it inside. If you’re taking a bike or the bus, I’m sorry about your 37 reusable bags.
This is what I do 99% of the time because even when I do remember to put them back into the trunk after using them, I never remember to bring them into the store.

I just throw it all in my car and transfer it to bags when I get home.
Too real
