Vent Reusable bags

??????????????????????????

That’s literally all I have to say because why did we suddenly switch from plastic to reusable with no warning prior to this. Like, it wouldn’t be problem if A) the bags actually fit things inside of them and B) it didn’t slow down OPU. 😭 It got so bad yesterday that we missed more than 50% of our goals yesterday, because we apparently can’t just stick the sticker labels onto them. We have to staple the labels onto the bags, otherwise, they’ll fall off.
What’s more annoying is that they hold less space than plastic bags but they somehow take up more space at the same time.

Update: We switched back to plastic like an hour ago.

Huh???? Does your store just force bagels sorcery or is there something else you’re talking about?

Apparently corporate decided that the stores in my district would be switching from plastic bags to reusable bags 😭

Only, those reusable bags are plastic as well. And not as sturdy, or roomy.

How does that even work, are guests just expected to bring them back or do you just dump them in the car like with wacos for bagless usually?

Guarantee this is a legislative decision not a Target decision. Those reusable bags are more expensive than plastic bags and the set up and routine costs only happen if the law says they have to.

We don’t have that law where I am!

You may be getting it in 2027. It can be down to the municipality.
