Comment on Imagine if all this discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal.

  Arguably, it’s better than selling metal straws. Lots of single-use plastic is used for shoping bags alone. And these loyal customer cards… Why not to make them one thing?

      Non reusable plastic bags are banned, we use sturdy re-useable ones

        But that has nothing to do with this topic. The topic here is having a rewards chip built into a bag, which is what i was saying is a bad idea.

  There is so much less plastic bag litter here in NJ since we banned single use plastic bags. Its not hard to keep a couple reusable bags in your car.

      My idea was to make customers use a sturdy bag instead of one-use plastic ones.

      Didn’t sound like that was the part you were objecting to given this is the comment you replied to.
