Bag the bag complaints

The new unpopular bag that has shoppers in an uproar on social media. Kroger says the change is only temporary to highlight lower prices on staples.

This is what it’s come down to — the color of one’s plastic shopping bag. For shame, shoppers.

Some were afraid people would think they had actually frequented Dollar General (which also has yellow bags) instead of Kroger. Do these people go to garage sales? I hope so. The landfill would be grateful. Simple answer: Buy your own bags. Any color you wish as long as they are reusable. Problem solved.

Everyone happy? Back to the real world.
