Shortly after New Jersey enacted a strict plastic bag ban three months ago, employees at the Aberdeen ShopRite noticed something unusual  the store’s handheld plastic shopping baskets were vanishing.

They soon realized brazen shoppers who didn’t bring their own bags and didn’t want to buy 33-cent reusable bags were simply leaving the store with their groceries stuffed in the shopping baskets.

And another issue is :

A ban on single-use plastic and paper bags in grocery stores had an unintended effect: Delivery services switched to heavy, reusable sacks — lots of them.

    1. “He is so out of touch with the citizens of NJ it is sickening.”

      He’s not playing to the citizens of NJ, and he doesn’t care what you think as long as it gets him POTUS.

      He’s a lame duck now and can do anything he wants.

      Remember, rich and STUPID, THIS is what you wanted.

    1. Yes, yes they are taking the baskets home with them. Our Shop Rite doesn’t have any hand held baskets. They’ve all been taken. It’s the craziest thing, but true!

  4. You’ll be surprised people are very cheap visitor getting some thing.

    1. People aren’t “cheap”.

      People are fed up with the woke BS and are participating in a “bag revolt”
