I'm the guy creatively balancing produce on top of eggs on top of meats on top of boxed goods on the way out and hand carries it all, because who remembers to put their reusable bags back in their car, let alone bring them into the store.
The problem is always getting to the car and realizing my keys are still in pocket and I have to dismantle my mound of goods to get back into the vehicle and look like an absolute dufus putting things on my windshield.

If I do forget a bag, like at Rona, I first fully utilize pocket(easier in the winter) but my keys are in my wallet pocket, so they come out at payment time, and slip around my finger so they are at the ready no matter how full my hands are.
I had Kellogg's Raisin Brand for breakfast and there was only one raisin in the bowl. They advertise it with two scoops of raisins and I figure the scoops must be half the size of a thimble. I even shook the box to help distribute the raisins in case they were concentrated in the bottom of the box.
I used to eat Safeway's Compliments brand which was loaded with raisins, but I can't seem to find it anymore.
A woman was killed when she fell onto a metal drinking straw that pierced her eye socket and entered her brain, an inquest heard.
Elena Struthers-Gardner, 60, was carrying a mason-jar style drinking glass with a screw-top lid when she collapsed at her home in Poole, Dorset, in November last year.
The 10 inch metal straw – held in place by the lid – entered her left eye and caused a fatal brain injury.
Thanks Barry, first you ruined Little League Baseball and now you're ruining metal straws.

I’ll think of your struggles now every time I open my door or trunk with keyless entry.

I bet the raisins are all at bottom of the box. Prepare for 2 scoops worth of raisins in your last bowl.

That's because the raisins settle to the bottom of the box during shipment. I used to shake the box hoping to better distribute the raisins but found it better to open the box from the bottom as others have suggested.

I think I saw the Joker do something like that, but with a pencil in the Dark Knight.
Yeah, I'm not a housewife who focuses on grocery shopping or makes a weekly scheduled trip. Those reusable bags sit in the kitchen cupboard.
I'm going to buy a box of small Glad garbage bags and leave those in the truck., will reuse them for garbage like I've always done before.
Now that I think about it, this new provincial law won't reduce plastic on my end. I use to throw away 100% of my Safeway bags full of garbage, now I just have to buy them.
OMG this is dumb. The point of the gear grinding thread isn't for everyone to say "yes, you're right this is so annoying", it's to get opinions on your gear grinder. In your case it's absurd. It's a changing world, keep a few bags rolled up in your vehicle, no more difficult than that.
It wouldn't make you a "housewife" to follow a basic strategy for a world where disposable bags are rightfully not available anymore, like WTF?

My problem isn't not having bags in my car, it's when I'm out walking and remember I need to get something and I don't have one that annoys me. Some kind of a 'need-a-bag, take-a-bag, leave-a-bag' setup would be ideal.
The whole bag thing is pretty absurd though. Why can I buy nothing but produce, not get a plastic bag to carry it all, and still wind up with more than 20 bags worth of plastic? Why do vertically integrated grocers get to put everything in plastic because it’s convenient for them, but an individual can’t be trusted?
It’s totally legit GG to need a bag to carry all the #### you just bought. The ####ing apples, oranges, cauliflower, lettuce, peppers, strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, mushrooms, pretty much most of the common produce at loblaws comes in plastic.
