This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I uh, avoid taking a cart, because I have a big ass reusable shopping bag. I'm not sure where that leaves me.

Wait, so you’re putting your unpaid items in the bag? I know there’s nothing inherently wrong with that but I’d be worried that someone would stop me or say something so I just hold on to mine until I check out.

Most places allow reusable bags and have self-checkout. These businesses have to factor in additional theft as being worthwhile compared to the savings on labor.

I use my own bag a lot of the time because my usual grocery store (ShopRite) doesn't put out baskets anymore. I don't want a cart or need a cart, I want a basket, but they're never out anymore. Like, they're just gone...

So either put the baskets back out, or accept we're going to use our reusable bags as baskets. Granted, I flip mine upside down in front of the self checkout camera to show I'm not stealing, but ffs... Just put the baskets back. 😭
