Until the next plandemic.

So we must get rid of Garbage bags also

Great. I'm still going to purchase single use plastic bags to line my garbage cans.

Better late than never.

Those are shopping carts. Couldn’t find a stock photo of a bag?

GalenWestonJr loblawco ShopprsDrugMart You have removed all cashiers with self serve making life hell for disabled people & seniors and yet you’re still using plastic? Priorities are totally screwed up, Galen!! 😡😡😡

The savings of not having to provide bags goes straight to their bottom line. Now we have to be the cashier and bag our own groceries with bags we provide. This is a huge savings for them, anyone notice a reduction in the price of groceries? Me neither.

way to be a year behind walmart.

Now we’re gonna have to buy plastic garbage bags. The big winner is 'Glad'!

What is wrong with a shorter time. Most supermarkets in Europe have eliminated then, as I looked very stupid at checkout in Amsterdam without a carry bag.

That is funny because Trudeau just stated it will be prohibited to use plastic by that date. So they are just following protocol by the Federal government...

That means people wont have to pick up anymore dog poo .

Poll: Did JustinTrudeau funnel money to loblawco?
