How is it that "free bags" are still being handed out in various stores? For plants, various non-food items and food.
Does this depend on the store?

Hello @Rabbit93, thank you for your contribution. There are indeed differences depending on the cooperative. If you let me know where you shop, I will clarify this with the relevant specialist department. Best regards, Luisa
Hello Traberli ?
Briefly about the "fresh meat counter"... I often take tupperware containers with me there, the dear sales assistants have so far put it in these containers without any further packaging, I only have to dispose of the "weighing slip" afterwards?
I prefer to keep the cheese in separate cheese paper, which can also be used to "store" it in the fridge, as it is eaten very quickly?
@Migiblitz
Are you taking a normal tupperware container with you or is this a special one?
@smartcoyote
I use the "normal" ones from Look Look and other airtight systems, I have different sizes of them and they are very stackable, or great for putting 2, 4 to 6 yogurts on. The meat marinades have not left any irremovable residue so far.
@Migiblitz
Ok, thank you very much. In that case I have to get par such airtight containers ?
@smartcoyote
I would get 1 or 2 for now and try them out at your store first... not that there will be another "gstürm"?
Hello everyone
There are a few exceptions where a free bag is still given out. Examples:
- For textile products and toys as protection (e.g. socks, underwear, etc.)
- For loose goods as initial packaging (e.g. screws)
- For frozen products or other weeping products (e.g. lettuce) as drip protection
- For flowers: If a bag is needed in addition to the paper.
@Rabbit93: These are rough guidelines. The store decides whether or not to provide one in individual cases depending on the situation.
Best regards

I think Tamara's comment explains the issue of free plastic bags very well.
I didn't know everything about the guidelines myself. Even if each store is allowed to decide for itself, if you're smart, bring your own Raschel bags. You always have to have a few ready, but it's good for the environment.
I have a problem with these plastic bags, actually with the whole environmental attitude and view. Where is the logic in that? The food industry sells me ham, cheese, vegetables etc. packaged in plastic and then the end customer has to pay 5 cents for the plastic bag at the checkout! It's not about the 5 cents, but about the approach to rethink. NO MORE PLASTIC BAGS FOR 5 RP! Only cloth or jute bags
1 free per Cumulus. Anything else is not environmental protection. We dispose of large quantities of plastic for these retailers. That's where the approach should be in the first place.... or?!!
