I always get plastic. So much easier to carrier multiple bags. I wonder why people still get paper..? Let me know!

definitely plastic for the carrying of multiple bags. some people get paper in plastic, cuz they want to be able to carry a bunch of them, but still have the paper bags to wrap gifts or something... i dunno. what do people do with paper bags anyway?

You know I once saw this old lady before at a store and she wanted her stuff double paper-bagged. The bag boy was like really pissed off because it's such a b*tch to double bag with paper since you have unfold the paper bag and open it and then put another one inside, open it, smooth it out etc and she bought a sh*t load of stuff.

Plastic, it does a better job cutting off the circulation in your fingers when you carry 50 lbs of groceries.

I don't really give a sh!t, but I'll agree plastic is easier to carry. My parents get paper because they like to put a paper bag under the sink to use as a trash bag.

we use the plastic bags as garbage bags in the kitchen. The 2 of us don't produce enough garbage there to warrant those huge costly black garbage bags every night.

We use paper bags for storing our old Newspapers so they can be recycled. So if I'm out of the paper bags I get paper to replenish my supply. But most of the time we get plastic.

I know how he feels. I hated it when customers asked for paper bags.

P A P E R (unless it's pouring raining).

Paper holds more, is easier to carry (for a larger load) and is easier to recycle than plastic is.

PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
