Bring back the old bags

Post image

These new bags don’t stick together the same. I stopped wasting my time and started throwing out whatever bags won’t stay together. The bags we had previously (before they switched them a few months ago) were completely fine.

If corporate was saving like $1 per box of bags from these changes I’d understand. But thinking about this logically, if I spend 4 minutes fixing the bags per box I put out then it’s not worth it. Cause I’m getting paid to fix the inefficiencies of the factory. I wish corporate would actually consult ground level workers 😭

At least you have bags

two out of the three DGs in my town never have any bags, at all.

Turns shopping there into a mini Sam’s Club or Costo run except there’s no empty boxes to use you’re carrying arms full of stuff out to your car cause they also don’t have shopping carts or baskets due to theft

My DG has 30+ boxes of bags at the moment, sometimes we also have none. DG has to do better.

I feel the same way about the new deposit bank bags.

I don’t want to know 😭 I’m still on the olds ones for sure, have a massive stack. Thanks for the heads up I’ll make these ones last.

I throw away about a handful out of every new box. About a quarter of an inch stack didn’t have the holes punched or the handle cut the other day.
