We're drowning in reusable bags. Are bag profits preventing big grocers from adopting solutions? (www.cbc.ca)

I’m confused why they keep buying more reusable bags when they forget to bring some.

I see you've met my wife. I have about a dozen in the boot of my car. I even had one in my hand the other day but she still bought a couple in Asda. One of them didn't even make it to the car!

It's a constant struggle.

Edit - I have about a dozen reuseable bags in my car, not wives :-)

I had a chuckle imagining your multiple wives at checkout (after having purchased yet more wives) and one tugs at your shirt and asks "honey, will we make it back to the car?"

You respond with a grave look "Some of you, yes. But with my hands full, I can't make any guarantees. You know that." Before stepping outside into the parking lot of a mad max-like world.
