I am a cashier at a grocery store and I agree that the reusable bags are a must for the environment. My concern is they are not sanitary. People bring in the dirtiest, most disgusting bags and cashier's have to touch them. Do you really want us bagging your groceries after handling someone else's dirt, pet hair and who knows what else? The store's have no policies in place regarding bag cleanliness. In fact we have brought this to the attention of management and have been instructed that we are not allowed to refuse to handle dirty bags.
Has anyone thought about this?
