		<description><![CDATA[A person can shoplift with their purse. With their back sack. With their brief case. With the pockets of their coats. Or, if you&#039;ve ever seen the video for Jane&#039;s Addiction &quot;Been Caught Stealing&quot; there are many clever ways to shoplift on your person.  
 
Again, shoplifting is not a valid defense for plastic bags.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry if I wasn&#039;t clear-  it was a Mall.  So they would get the bag at checkout-  in one store.  Then they would proceed to other stores, carrying the bag.  You can&#039;t watch everybody, so these bags could get amazingly full. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This doesn&#039;t make sense. The &quot;shopping&quot; bag should be handed to the cashier upon check-out.  
 
The issue of theft is not a valid argument in favor of plastic bags or against re-usable bags. If stores don&#039;t take the shopping bag from the customer, then the stores deserve thieves. This is a no-brainer.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is surprising?  Years ago, I worked in retail- a major upscale department store chain.  &quot;Shoppers&quot; would come in carrying the &quot;Shopping Bags&quot; chains used to hand out- big bags with handles and the logo on the side.  So, buy one small item at one store, get the big shopping bag, and then go &quot;browse&quot; the other chains, filling your bag as you go.... 
 
Now, grocery stores get to share in the fun. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m against plastic bags. Reusable bags are far, far more practical and economical, and have been used in other countries for decades. Even way back people went to the market with baskets. Never was it a ploy of eco-wackos. It was simple practicality. It makes me angry that the issue of shopping bags has been hijacked by eco-wackos. The fact is plastic bags would be used only rarely--rather than the norm--if the eco-wackos had just stayed out of it. Thanks to their fanatical approach--which turns so many people off, including many liberals--billions of plastic bags continue to be manufactured and used (and wasted and heaped unnecessarily into landfills) by people who really are just revolting against enviro-freaks. If the freaks say don&#039;t use plastic....people will use plastic.  
 
Except for me, of course. Because I love my country. Our land was not meant for garbage. Keep America beautiful--use reusable shopping bags.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I actually suspected that bringing in cloth bags from outside into a grocery store would be a PERFECT way for someone with zero moral compass to shoplift like crazy, years and years ago.  We haven&#039;t been legislated out of plastic bags in this particular part of Canada yet, though one local grocery chain has started using paper and selling fabric bags (that have a plastic coating).  Other stores in the area usually charge a nickel for plastic bags. ]]></description>
