- Yes and yes. 5 cents a bag now. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 08:13

- I have to, they banned plastic bags in my town. -- nm - lileve May 7, 08:03
- What I should get is my own basket like they have. That would be key. I should make designer shopping baskets and sell them on line. -- nm - CQ May 7, 08:02 1
  - you should - strong and light weight. a few grocery stores sell them here, but i find them heavy. -- nm - Andie May 7, 08:05
- A few places charge here, but I don't go there often. I hardly ever remember to bring my own bags. -- nm - kelly May 7, 08:02
- I try to reuse my plastic bags. The grocery store I usually go to gives a 6 cent credit for each one you bring in -- nm - amoxy May 7, 08:02

  - Plastic bags are illegal here, I learned. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 08:04

- One store here does. We have 6 reusable ones. -- nm - Beaker May 7, 08:01

ST Grocery Poll -- Do you prefer to bag your own groceries, or have someone do it for you? - znufrii May 7, 07:54 16
- I use a wirless scanner and put it in the bag as I shop then use the self checkout. -- nm - lileve May 7, 08:03 1
  - noice! -- nm - znufrii May 7, 08:04
- I'm not sure I could find a place where they's let me bag my own. -- nm - mafic May 7, 08:00
- Bag my own. - kelly May 7, 07:58
- the places i usually go i bag my own. -- nm - Andie May 7, 07:57
- I'm perfectly happy with self checkout. It annoys me that places here (SW FL) seem afraid of technology and don't have self checkout -- nm - Justice 97 May 7, 07:57 1
  - It might be that the stores aren't afraid of technology, but their customers are (or prefer personal service, etc) -- nm - Roger More May 7, 07:58
- Let them do it. That's what they get paid to do. Unless it's a shitload of groceries, then I'll help. -- nm - CQ May 7, 07:56
- for the 20% I save at Ultra, I will bag my own. nm -- nm - groiny May 7, 07:56
- I'm fine with bagging my own, though most of the regular grocery stores in this area the cashier does it. -- nm - Don Homer May 7, 07:56 5
  - I dislike the cashier doing it because in most cases they just put things in bags as they are scanned without any thought to actually fitting them in - znufrii May 7, 07:58 4
    - I worry more about (for example) a cashier putting the eggs in a bag and then a whole bunch of cans on top -- nm - Roger More May 7, 07:59 3
      - I've never had that happen, thankfully. -- nm - znufrii May 7, 08:01 2
        
        depends on the store, how well they train and motivate their staff, etc -- nm - Roger More May 7, 08:03 1
        
        mine are more likely to give the eggs their own bag, double-bagged of course. -- nm - znufrii May 7, 08:05
- Full groceries = cashier can do it. Smaller order = self-scan checkout, ie self-bagging. -- nm - Shaun May 7, 07:55
Mundane question: What grocery stores are there in Chicago? - Justice 97 May 7, 07:48 5

- Jewel, Dominicks, and if you do not mind bagging your own shit, - groiny May 7, 07:49 2
  - no bathrooms, eh? -- nm - mafic May 7, 07:52 1
    - ...and we're back to scoopers. -- nm - Diva May 7, 07:59
I have a great girlfriend...I really do but I think forcing her to listen to Dave Roberts do color commentary for the local 9 might be asking too much - Mel Profit May 7, 07:46 11
- "Honey, you remember back in 04, that kid, he did something -- nm - Mel at 90 May 7, 07:53 4

  - I'm trying to decide... - Mel Profit May 7, 07:55 2
    - I think once they beat the Yankees it was over. That moment was undescribable. The World Series was a forgone conclusion. So much momentum -- nm - CQ May 7, 07:58 1
      - It felt weirdly inevitable after the ALCS. -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 08:02
  - torture. sheer torture. -- nm - Diva May 7, 07:51

- Maybe it wasn't a date. Maybe they were setting you up with your future AA Brother. ? -- nm - Redmond (ST Sick Club Member) May 7, 07:45 3
  - That would be hilarious...tricking Dawson into meeting his sponser. -- nm - Mel Profit May 7, 07:47

- heh - that's the worst set-up rationale ever. -- nm - Roger More May 7, 07:38 7
  - by which I mean, it's equivalent to saying "Person A smokes cigars. Person B smokes cigars. They'd be prefect for one another!" -- nm - Roger More May 7, 07:43 6
    - which is still better than most people's fix up criteria.. "he's single, you're single! you're perfect for each other!" -- nm - Andie May 7, 07:46 2
      - My gf's fixing up ideas are basically "A is funny. B is funny. They should be together" -- nm - Roger More May 7, 07:49
      - yeah, the cigar thing means they at least have something in common to talk about -- nm - znufrii May 7, 07:48
    - plus if they are truly alcoholics, "let's put disfunctional people together" -- nm - zork May 7, 07:44 1
      - This thread is taking a turn nthat I didn't expect until after I made my first post, and one I really wanted to avoid -- nm - Roger More May 7, 07:46
    - it's actually worse than that ... h heh -- nm - Beryllium May 7, 07:43
- going by the IM, history and prof were extraneous -- nm - zork May 7, 07:36
- shoe, or brass? -- nm - mafic May 7, 07:35

- pharmacists are one of the most underappreciated professions - zork May 7, 07:35 5
  - Yes, though in the big chains (where most of them work now) you regularly hear about big mistakes - Don Homer May 7, 07:40
  - this is the same pharmacy that i went to when it turned out i had septicemia and they looked at me and made me promise to go right to the hospital. - Andie May 7, 07:38 3

ST Poll #HdnAgnda: Should my wardrobe be seasonal? - Justice 97 May 7, 07:26 11
- Here are some of the loose rules I have: - HdnAgnda May 7, 07:33
- It's really up to you. My idea of a seasonal work wardrobe is coat/scarf/gloves in the winter and a lack of them in summer - Roger More May 7, 07:33
- If you're living in Chicago, IMO, you need seasonal wardrobe. -- nm - hutsilu in Rwanda May 7, 07:29 1
  - I should clarify. Obvie, shorts are summer, sweaters are winter. I'm thinking dress shirts/work clothes -- nm - Justice 97 May 7, 07:30
