and as people drag filthy unwashed bags across the counters expect more problems than the disposable bags created...Anyone know where I can buy disposable grocery bags in bulk?
City slogan should not be “Keep Austin Weird”... it should be “Keep Austin Prices Higher than everywhere else in Texas”
Liberals aren’t tyrants... just keep repeating until you believe it. lol.
To think we have our own San Francisco (or Berkeley) in Texas!
The obvious unasked question is how much will contagious disease increase as reusable cloth bags are brought into stores to be handled over and over. Idiots.

They should ban all food. It’s packaged in paper or plastic isn’t it?
and as people drag filthy unwashed bags across the counters expect more problems than the disposable bags created...First they came for the filthy, disease-carrying cloth bags, and I didn’t speak up because I carried my groceries home in eco-friendly, renewable paper bags.
Then they came for the paper bags, and I didn’t speak up because I carried my groceries home in eco-friendly plastic bags made from reusable petroleum.
Then they came for the plastic bags, and I didn’t speak up because I carried my groceries home in a reusable eco-friendly cloth bag.
Then they came for those filthy, disease-carrying cloth bags again, and once more I didn’t speak up because now I was carrying my groceries home in my two hands.
Then they came for my hands, and I was stumped because there was nobody left to speak up for me.
I am so sick of the term “single use”. I use these bags to line the trash, pick up dog poo, put grandbabies diapers in, dirty clothes when I travel (no not after the poo pick up), they can be used for packing material when shipping and oh yea they are recyclable and eventually become my patio chair next year.
San Jose, CA is banning plastic bags on the 1st.
Today I bought a bunch of food and such at the Smart & Final on Monterrey near Tully. They were already out of bags.
Next shopping trip will be to the S&F in Santa Clara.
One would think that Texans would get rid of such people in their government. What is the matter? Why isn’t the Austin city council being recalled?
Austin has become a pimple on our beautiful state! I live just a few miles north and west of the capitol city—but everything surrounding the city is red as red can be, including where I live.
I think having the huge University of Texas in Austin has to do with how liberal it is.
I’ve been saving up plastic bags for months—getting together a pretty good stash here—LOL!
The problem isn't plastic bags - it is the people that use them, and the city workers that collect them. Both are sloppy in their handling of them, with government being the worst offender.
To keep the environment clear of plastic bags - fire the city council, turn over trash collection to private industry, and set a bounty on those who carelessly handle plastic bags. We could have a lot of fun on what that should be.
A beautiful town filled with many incredibly stupid people.
You can stop calling me now, Austin. I don't need the money.
Here’s how popular I’m sure this is in Texas....

Austin: The San Francisco of Texas. Or, as I like to call it, Hanoi in the Hill Country
It’s interesting that 4 new Super Walmarts will be built around Austin but not IN Austin. I know it will make a difference to me. Busy Bodies.
