I love Trader Joe's! And when I say I have my own bags, I get to fill out a ticket for their daily drawing! Awesome! More stores should encourage customers to bring their own shopping bag as well as reward them like Trader Joe's! Thank you, ACJ, for acknowledging those clerks who do not know better.

I mean, did you not see the bags that I put RIGHT THERE...IN FRONT OF the groceries? C'mon! Everybody working in a store (not just a supermarket) should be well aware of the plastic strike--most stores sell their own bags--so, I'm not quite sure why I have to ask so often (except in Whole Foods and Trader Joe's) that they "please use the bags I brought." It's a bit annoying. I even had one lady who took the plastic bags of things and put it inside my recycled bags---um, NO THANKS, TRY AGAIN! Oh, I absolutely HATE when they do that.
