Trader Joe's


I wish more stores would have these reminder signs.  This one is right next to the elevator and is very effective.  Normally I bring my grocery bags into a store about 50% of the time.  Yesterday this sign caused me to turn around and get my bag out of the car.

  2. I'd love a reminder like this. I usually have my cart pretty full before I remember that I forgot the bags.

  3. Funny! I thought, however, that Trader Joe's was a bar. I think there's one in Miami!

  5. Hah! The bags I usually forget are the cloth ones intended to keep me from wasting so many plastic bags.

  7. I like the idea of a sign to remind you BEFORE you start loading your grocery buggy.

  11. There's an elevator at your Trader Joe's? Moving to Portland made me more of a user of my own bags which I believe I now do at least 85% of the time.

  13. In Canada, they charge you 5 cents for plastic bags. I think that's a good way to keep people bringing their own.
