was just up at the local supermarket as I needed something for dinner.................
There is now apparently a shortage of plastic bags. They were rationing what they had & substituting paper bags. I normally prefer & ask for paper - but I mean - really??
So you weren’t affected by the shortage of the plastic bags....Why really??
Did they have everything else you needed I hope.??
Jenn brings her own bags too the store seems smarter too me
Maine was supposed to ban plastic bags April 1, but that got delayed and stores will NOT let you bring in your own bags now.
Go figure!

why a shortage?
Are the supply chains on EVERYTHING that tight?
Seems like there's a shortage of everything?
And yes - got what I needed.
Well there is this small issue going on in the world :rolleyes::rolleyes:
I'm aware of that - but these things can be produced by the millions daily. I don't understand there how there cab be a shortage of 'em.
Guess the acronym JITI doesn't ring a bell...
R - I was a Purchasing Director for 20 + years - I am well aware of that term. It also means/requires that the manufacturer keep X amount in their inventory (above & beyond what is normally ordered) at all times so they can be brought in quickly if needed. It's known as a Reserve Stock.

At least one market here has signs requesting you leave your reusable bags at home. I guess they don't want you bringing your filthy germs to the store.
Also considering the bans going into effect isn't it possible that manufacturers have cut back production? Or, more likely, gone out of business. You know, because as long as we're saving the world who cares who loses their job.

Just sayin'. The unintended consequences of saving the planet from plastic bags. Clean bags? Pfffft. Who goes out of business, and who gets laid off? Pfffft. Mere collateral damage in the fight to save the world, right?
Kind of like the Maine lobster thing Roccus posted about. I mean, there's no nobler cause than saving the whales, is there? It has to be true, I've seen it on bumper stickers.

True enough, but as a Purchasing Direct wouldn't you agree with all the current and impending bans for plastic bags (isn't NY going to ban them/has banned them too?) the MFGs probably reset the Reserve Stock numbers down? Now that places have temporarily "unbanned" the bags, the reserve stocks are inadequate to handle this significant, short-term increased need.
