A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Why? Sounds terrible. So many down sides.
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?
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.
That had 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.
Didn’t sound like that was the part you were objecting to given this is the comment you replied to.
Welcome to Europe, we are actually doing great
You have reward card chips in your shopping bags?
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.
What are some down sides?
