No Grocery Bag - Portlandia on IFC www.interplas.... If, after watching this video you still would like to buy plastic grocery bags... www.interplas....
@@johnnynephrite6147it’s still a thing and pronouns have been used to specify more than just gender for hundreds probably thousands of generations. Don’t be on the wrong side of history.
@@creedparker Aha... my schizo sense is tickling lmao. Yeah folks, be on the right side of history - on the side of sanity and humanity. Discard this nonsense and we as society still have a chance to prevail.
Jesus christ I was about to leave a comment making fun of people like you but figured, "Nah, no way somebody will be _that_ dumb and unfunny. You'd have to be a _characture_ of a dumb hick to really make this joke still... 10 YEARS LATER." And here you are. You genuinely think this comment was truthful huh? I guess that means you shop at shitty stores and can't afford the nice ones, so you have this cute little theory going in your head that the jokes you hear are real. If you're confused and scared, why don't you face your fears and go to the nicer grocery store and see for yourself?
Whats hilarious is, you go to the store buy plastic garbage bags, plastic ziplock bags, milk in plastic jugs, meat that is plastic wrapped, but the one plastic bag to carry them all is not allowed. Oh and you cant have a plastic straw to go with your plastic cup with a plastic lid.
Nothing hilarious about it...we elect people who, believing they are our betters, put these B.S. "green" laws into place, laws that disproportionately impact those on the lower income strata...while claiming to be "fighting poverty".
In Philly, grocery stores can't have bags anymore so they really nailed the intense shame you feel if you forget your bag. I now have about 90 reusable bags that I've had to purchase while the cashier gives me that crazy judgemental Fred Armison look.
yup, I remember that when I lived in Oregon. Then you'd have to buy some crappy 're-usable' bag with the store's logo on it to add to your HUGE collection you have at home or in your car, Now that i live in a easy bag state I STILL bring my bags in. People must think I'm such a hippy and little do they know it's just PTSD--- PORTLAND traumatic stress disorder-- ha!
I was at a thrift store and this old lady was real nice to me and we talked about a bunch of stuff and then when I checked out I realized I had no bag but smaller places are allowed to offer bags in NJ and the lady happily gave me one but the old lady got real salty and needless to say I lost a friend that day.
This happened to me on a Colorado ski trip at a Walmart. We flew in, rented the car, made a Walmart run to feed 10 people for a week and they had zero bags. Ended up buying a box of kitchen sized trash bags for our groceries.
Grocery stores having bags to give you is a recent development in the grand scheme of things... People did fine back when the average family had more members and there was no plastic at all...
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 also Walmart is a recent development in the grand scheme of things, so really @pianofixer898 & friends should just have been happy to hack their frozen turnips outta the ground! 🤣🦕
Paper bags are so much better! We had modern society before we had plastics... All the food and products we used to package just fine without plastics. A crazy way to poison ourselves!
They all have a policy to follow the fellows should allowed you to go and get your grocery bags and put your stuff aside with a note saying don’t take but some people just don’t think of such a simple thing to do
I never bring bags when I go grocery shopping, I just tell them to put it the cart, I have a trunk that is where I can stick the groceries, I have my own cart at home to offload groceries from my trunk :D No bags needed
In Texas we have a state law against cities making any local ordinances about bags, but I shop at Aldi, where they carry bags but you have to pay for them. So I always make sure I have a few Aldi bags in my car, and I use them wherever I shop for groceries. In fact, I've been using my own bag since the days when my city was allowed to have a bag ordinance, and sometimes I use that one at Aldi. It's just not that hard, and yes, I do judge you if you just get plastic bags all the time.
We use the plastic or paper grocery bags when we scoop the kitty litter and to line our v Small garbage cans in the restrooms. Some people do have such uses for the bags that you may not realize. That’s why it’s typically best to not judge people for such things.
@@alleycat616 I don't think there's anything wrong with being judgmental, even though I do forget sometimes. But I'm willing to take my lumps for a better world.
Our entire existence is based on judgement. Telling people to not be judgemental is basically telling them to accept your dysfunction without review.@@dalegreer3095
If you're going to be high and mighty about single-use bags, then leave the empty wholesale cartons on the shelf like Aldi's does for people to use instead of a bag.
In Colorado, I don't understand why, when forgetting one's reuseable bags, we are being charged...for paper bags. The point was to cut out the plastic. The paper is both biodegradable and compostable. The law is poorly designed.
Plastic bags were popularized just 30 yrs ago and already society can't imagine a world without them... Paper bags were invented in the 1850s and didn't even have a _bottom_ for decades. Believe it or not, people bought and sold things before 1850... hmm what solution could they have possibly used? 🤔
Plastic bags and vape stores were banned in New York State as "common sense emergency c*ronavirus mandates." Because apparently smoking (instead of vaping) and re-using the same bag stops "the deadly virus" remember?
If you forgot your bag, buy a box of trash bags and take some out at the checkout after you pay. Actually, just do that even if you didn't forget your bag. It's hilarious
As someone who works in retail in New Jersey, people always look at me like I have 3 heads when I tell them we charge for a paper bag. Hey, Don't shoot the messenger.
I remember as a kid, back in the Sixties, going shopping with my mom and seeing something like this taking place with one of the other shoppers. Not sure how it turned out.
As someone who recently moved to California, I can attest this is more of a documentary than a satire. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard “Oh, you want a bag”. Followed by a look of disdain.
I remember getting our turkey each year from the Zupans in SW Portland as a kid and we were lower middle class and it’s funny now realizing how extremely expensive and fancy it is for regular grocery shopping. People think Whole Foods is expensive and pretentious, Zupans destroys that lol
So? The point is to have a few fabric bags and use them over and over. Focusing on the carbon footprint is completely missing the point. Mindlessly using and throwing away plastics has created a hellish pollution problem that has stretched to every corner of the world. If you're mad about fabric bags, you should be more mad about clothing and fast fashion. Maybe you should wear garbage bags for clothes huh?
@@MrMarumari All your complaints are caused by China, india, Africa, and the rest of the third-world. Unless you address that, all you're doing is virtue signaling.
Actually it take alot of energy to collect and properly dispose of 3000 plastic bags. Energy equates to fuel which is carbon release. So in the long run canvas is always the better choice. Chain of event people
the internet has the largest carbon footprint in the world :D The digital age does more damage to the environment in 1 day than 10 years worth of plastic
Cotton is the worst material to grow and a bag made of cotton has a carbon footprint 170x that of a plastic bag... You easily use more than 170 plastic bags in a year and the cotton bag should last way more than a year. Plus, hemp or linen has a way lower carbon footprint... Plus, plastic poisons our water and land as they break down.
Same up in East Durham in October. Here in Charlotte, NC half the cashiers double plastic bag EVERYTHING. In NY they not only shamed me, but charged for paper bags...solid yankee behavior.
What makes that so funny (for me) is that this is our reality in 2024. It completely blew his mind that someone could commit such a horrendous act as to forget a bag. And the confusion over the customer's gender..."man" is spot on and illustrates the absurdity of the world we live in.
At least that's honest. The places that charge 10 cents for a bag and say it's for the environment infuriate me. Nah dawg, charging 10 cents doesn't help the environment. It just goes to line the pockets of the politicians or agencies enforcing the surcharge. The bag still exists.
The idea is to discourage the use of bags. Many people bring their own instead of paying that 10c. Many refuse a bag even if they do not bring their own as a result of the 10c charge. I have worked in a store for years and it made a difference.
I've been trying to find this clip forever!! Just the part where he closes his eyes and that music plays. Is there another scene somewhere where he does the same thing along with the music??
"Prescient"? You don't think it's possible that _Portland_ was already aware of transsexual sensitivity 9 yrs ago? You think the concept of transsexualism just appeared out of nowhere 5 years ago and this sketch just pulled that concept out of thin air? You chose to accept _magic_ rather than the possibility of your own ignorance... What a christian
@@swolltron I was driving through Portland and stopped at a busy car repair place and asked if they serviced Saabs and some guy actually laughed at me. Never had that happen before, only in Portland so I am inclined to believe him.
I remember the first time I experienced this "law" in NJ. I was so pissed off. I had to buy their stupid store bags just to get out of there. This really is some commie shit.
If you're not from the Pacific Northwest you have no idea how real this is... Not bringing your own bag in one of the old school co-ops is considered a crime against humanity.
Just cam from my red state store where I got 8 plastic bags for nine items there should be a portlandia about all the red state houses filled with garbage bags filled with grocery store plastic bags, even weirder and more bizarre than the guys who drive around emitting fog from thier trucks
