Local Disney Store - no bags!!!

, or you're not doing it correctly (try searching 'bagless delivery problem' on Twitter; I've found many results).

Again, links please. In three pages of search results, "hapless delivery problems" returned

• Ten mentions of hapless vacuums;
• Two vacuum manufacturers ' websites;
• Three Amazon reviews;
• Two grocery delivery issues (each posted twice, about two stores, with zero mention of disability);
• Two newspaper delivery problem links;
• One each: Amazon, specific bakery needing delivery help, unboxing, Coursera.

Completely missing from this search? Any mention of disability.

But there have been, I can assure you. I've seen them as soon as Sainsbury’s and Asda have initiated the bagless deliveries months ago.

Sainsbury's? Asda? You're not even talking about US stores?????? There is absolutely no way visiting "many" US big box stores (a) approaches anywhere near the number of times any U.S. resident has visited actual supermarkets or grocery stores, and (b) gives any insight to grocery delivery experiences.

However, you can never know where that tray's been, whereas a supermarket environment would be rigorously clean.

Once again, any concerns about cleanliness must be addressed with the store. Betting, though, that trays are cleaned at least as often and well as shopping carts.

So now the Disney Stores on the other side of the Pond are going to do the same, starting Monday, and the bags will almost be identical, except that the other side will say shopDisney, and both sides will have additional logos below it advertising Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars, instead of "Continue the story at ShopDisney.com", and there'll (I think) be three sizes instead of just two, which I hope means there'll be a new jumbo size to address criticisms that the largest reusable bag is too narrow for some products.

However, in the UK, the charge is going to be much lower than the US: 25p (33c) vs 99c, and part of it is going to be apportioned to good causes, which is making me wonder why the US Disney Stores opted for a higher charge, and also, why they decided to profit completely from them and not support a charity. Though I still have concerns over the material, and with the lower price, as much as it's fairer, people will still keep buying them and not bothering to bring them back every time, which is already a problem with the supermarkets' reusable plastic bags here.

Only time will tell if that's true or not, but our bag tax has at least resulted in more prudent usage, and of course, still retaining the democracy of choice.

Typical charge for reuseable bags.

Typical charge for reuseable bags.

More like atypical, particularly when you consider that most stores under an ordinance that offer thicker plastic usually just charges a dime or thereabouts. In the UK, a typical reusable plastic bag costs around 5-30p, depending on the retailer, so 25p is within ballpark for us.
