QFC Gets Rid Of Plastic Shopping Bags

SEATTLE, WA — QFC shoppers across Western Washington will notice a big change at their local grocery store: no more plastic bags.

QFC parent Kroger announced on March 22 that it would eliminate the single-use bags beginning April 1. It's part of a larger plan to phase out plastic bags at all Kroger-owned grocery stores by 2025.

"With Earth Day approaching, we realized this was the perfect opportunity to accelerate the removal of single-use plastic in our stores," QFC President Suzy Monford said in a press release.

Kroger also owns Fred Meyer, but it appears plastic bags will stay at those stores for now.

2. Haven't been to a QFC in years.

They closed a lot of the stores in the South Sound over the years.

3. The anti-environmentalists are going to have a shit-fit.

We're slowing down the rape of the planet. That always pisses them off.

Expect to see more smoke-belching pickup trucks in the near future...

4. Leaves us cat owners in a quandry

While I understand the environmental issues about the plastic bags, our garbage hauler doesn't. We are required to dispose of used kitty litter in double plastic bags. The grocery bags were always good for this.

5. yeah we have the same problem. A 47year old retarded daughter who

still wears diapers. We hang a plastic grocery bag on a rack on a table in her room for used diapers. We thought we might go to compostable plastic bags for the future but they make them awfully small.
