"Let's ban plastic and paper bags statewide. What could go wrong?"
"This is New Jersey."
"Oh, Riiiigggghhtt"
@pixelpaperyarn @thegibson strong agree.
@jackgangi
This is what happened in California as well, once the ban went into effect people just started taking baskets and carts home.
@jackgangi still better for the environment? success???
@jackgangi steal? i think you’d want to eventually retufn them. otherwise they’d just uselessly pile up
@jackgangi @emacsen Exactly what happened at a bunch of the stores in California when the ban there went into effect. A lot of stores just didn't bother replacing the baskets. And these were typically the same stores that already had anti-theft devices on their shopping carts.
@jackgangi @thegibson accurate. I love my state so much. 🤣
