I think it's up to the store. I haven't seen a paper bag at HEB in years but Randalls uses them.SteveBott said:
From my memory the old brown bags were not allowed but I do not shop in Austin. So you guys tell me if they are still in use. Round Rock has plastic. We use the plastic for trash can liners so they get reused at our house
Yeah, unfortunately ones that didn't get caught up in the barbed wire likely ended up in a creek or stream.SteveBott said:
FYI here in RR the only time I see eyesore plastic bags is when they hang up on farm barb wire fences. It's like magnets strung around. And yes we still have open fields here
Well, if he did decide to be mayor of Austin, he'd be the first one with a brain in several decades.expresswrittenconsent said:
Abbott can't decide whether he wants to be POTUS, or Mayor of Austin. The thing he has done best (besides bringing embarrassment to the state for the repeated idiotic bathroom bill failures that neither conservatives nor liberals support) is make Rick Perry's tenure look a lot better.
Unfortunate first step in litigation and they probably knew they would lose. People complain about affordable housing all the time and if they only knew the true costs of ordinances such as these.Ryno01 said:
Breaking news. Travis County District Court Judge Tim Sulak denied the Texas Association of Business's (TAB) request to put Austin's Paid Sick Leave Ordinance on hold while TAB and the City of Austin litigate the constitutionality of the Ordinance. More details to come, but this means that the Ordinance is still on the books and will go into effect starting October 1, 2018.
Seriously...Ken Paxton, the champion of local control government who sues the Feds at every chance, also goes after local city ordinances...hmm could it be that he just wants to rally his political base against democrats?wargograw said:
Didn't realize we had so many big government fans around here.
Removing needless local government regulations on private businesses and citizens promotes more freedom.Husky Boy Jr. said:Seriously...Ken Paxton, the champion of local control government who sues the Feds at every chance, also goes after local city ordinances...hmm could it be that he just wants to rally his political base against democrats?wargograw said:

Is he ever going to trial for securities fraud?

The final thing I will say is that a lot of people rarely rewash the reusable ones, so you get a lot of cross contamination everywhere in the store. That bag that someone flops down on the conveyor belt that all your food goes on could have been holding raw chicken last time. Now that bacteria is all over the belt and everything it touches. Same thing with the shopping cart.

They have the plastic produce bags next to the chicken for a reason. Also, wash your produce before you eat and don't undercook your chicken. Problem solved.
If you can't handle that, buy the pre-cooked frozen chicken and let the rest of us be competent.
