Cabelas is charging for bags

[HighlandLofts]

The last time I shoped at Cabelas last week the wanted five cents for a bag. No Way Jose, they are grossing over $300,000 A day and the want five cents for a bag.
I'm done shopping at Cabelas, I buy a lot of money on guns and gun related merchandice a year. I just spent $349 yesterday at a local jum shop because of Cabelas bag charge.


I am going to send Cabelas a bitch report.

Look at the needle box next time you go there. Must be a bunch of dibetecs that shop there.



Scary. Thought,all these druggies buying guns.

?

I dislike the charging for bags crap too, to the point of not shopping there. But I don't see the sharps container connection?

 

[Eddie Gunks]

I think the bag cost is to encourage people to use less plastic bags.

Think about it that way.

Too many fucking plastic bags in the world.

There should be none!

 

[Eddie Gunks]

ps. Bravo for supporting the local shop. You should have been there to begin with........

 

[HighlandLofts]

Cabelas is only a ten minute drive, the local gun shop is over an hour away highway driving. But it will be an hour drive when my list of needs warrants the drive time.

Heroin use is rampant here locally, Tons of meth use as well. That's why I carry everyday/allday. I refuse to be a victim.

I gives a fuck about too many plastic bags.

Or think about it this way. How much plastic is on or in everything surrounding you. Probably 60% of consumer products are plastic.

I agree with the OP they should not be charging for bags. It will do nothing to stem the use of plastic bags and we all know that. It will make them more money.

Keep in mind the plastic bags aren’t the problem. It’s like gun control guns aren’t the problem. It’s people throwing the bags on the ground and not where they belong.

I don’t take a bag if I dont need one, but the cashiers always seem very surprised so I think I’m in the minority.

If saving the world from all the plastic is the concern why not use paper bags....I like a good ole paper sack.

I resent this remark. I hope you never need any life saving drugs.

Yea, just like the "deposit" on plastic water bottles worked.

Heroin use is rampant here locally, Tons of meth use as well. That's why I carry everyday/allday. I refuse to be a victim.

Druggies don't usually dispose of their "works", they keep reusing them. When they do ditch them, it is usually not in a sharps container.

Or think about it this way. How much plastic is on or in everything surrounding you. Probably 60% of consumer products are plastic.

Yea, just think about how many of you guys have "plastic" guns.

The epa and federal government years ago were lobbied to put so much restrictions on the paper manufacturer's. It drove them all out. It was to save the forests and stop pollution in our water. So they built up the industry to consume oil to make plastics. We have been screwed for the past 30 years buy one industry buying out and destroying there competition.

Are you sure there is not a city or county law that requires this? In Oregon there are counties that require stores to charge for plastic bags.

 

[Robin]

People should recycle old bags, get Pelosi or Feinstein to carry your shit.

Why the resentment from his statement?

 

[GOPerfect]

I refuse to buy bags. If I am unaware of the upcharge upon cash out, I will cancel my buying trip and leave. I'll just leave everything on the counter and not go back.

If Cabelas in Buffalo has this program as well, I will no longer shop there. More online shopping for me.

Suffolk county just implemented this down here. Its a total clusterfuck because everything in the supermarkets is setup so you bag aftwr you pay.

 

[Eddie Gunks]

I dont think they should sell water in plastic bottles smaller than 1 gallon.........

Like a gas tax has worked

Or an alcohol tax has worked

Or a cigarette tax has worked.

Etc etc etc

I would love to see less plastic used in everyday life.

Bags, water bottles, etc. Americans are too lazy and companies are too greedy to stop the use of plastics.

I should not be charged money due to their choices. If Cabelas is so against plastic bags, change over to paper.

It is not only america. SE Asia is a mountain of plastic bags. They put plastic inside of more plastic. It is crazy.

It is everywhere, but i have seen it 1st hand in SE Asia.

Right there with you friend. Everywhere I shop I ask for paper and get the dumbass look. I tell em I can’t start my morning wood stove fire with plastic.

I like to tell them it's free toilet paper.

Sure you could. It just wouldn't be especially pleasant.

Ironically PLASTIC is the greenest choice.

And the Plastic Lumber Companies, such as TREX, can't get enough of them.

Recycled Plastic Decking | Synthetic & Plastic Wood Boards | Trex

Just like Ethanol, which consumes more energy than it gives back when burned, the Plastic Bag Ban is a harmful scam supported by ignornant liberals.

SHIT, most Liberals don't even realize that their ELECTRIC CARS are actually Natural Gas or Oil vehicles.

Because that is what is burned to generate the electricity.

There's no doubt in my mind that crap about PLASTIC BAGS is the LAW there.

Few stores do anything so foolish on their own.

 

[Nevar]

The suffolk law is pure BS. Why the fee on paper bags [ if you can find them] The Store get to keep the money
1] at stop and shop self check out, after you scan all your items and select pay, it asks you how many bags. I HIT ZERO. Go ahead put your hands on me as I leave the store.
2] Not thinking at a Local Food store that I am in 4/5 times a week. I got charged 5 cents. Went to the truck, un loaded and went back in with my receipt in hand, waited on line gave the guy my receipt and the bag. Said I want a refund, I don't need this.

OVERPOPULATION is the real problem.

But that's the one thing Liberals rarely mention - because the logical question would be: "Then why are we IMPORTING more ?"

Sort of, but I've been using my same reusable grocery bags for two and a half years now. Way more than eight uses. I do sometimes forget them, though, so I'd be grouchy about paying for a bag, too.

I had a couple of real disappointing experiences with Supermarket $1 Bags (I'm not calling them "Re-Usable because I re-use Paper and Plastic Bags as well.)

Anyways, the Supermarket bags had Bottom Stiffeners, that could not be removed.

I washed them, and was rewarded with a huge soggy, lump of damp, disintegrated cardboard captured inside the bottom. Swell.

And of course, Liberals do recommend WASHING those bags.

The cost and impact of the WATER, DETERGENT, and ELECTRICTY for the Washing Machine and Dryer is always ignored.
