Interesting. At first I was wondering how a plastic bag ban could increase shoplifting. But I read the article.
You know what’s next, dontcha? They will begin to search your bags after you shop before you leave
Like at Sams Club - - they count the number of itmes you purchase and verify that against the number of items purchased on your bill. Trouble is.... Buying 100 plus items will take you an hour to leave the store.
Hoo Boy! Isn’t liberalism wonderful???
There's a chain of Asian supermarkets here, Pacific Super. They won't let you bring bags of stuff in; therefore you won't be leaving with any bags of stuff. Try arguing with Chinese clerks who don't know english. I got no where with them. (Shop there for my Chinese MIL, lots of stuff plus cheap prices .) This bag crap is ridiculous in the SF area.
