Can you believe starting in the new year, not only are we stuck with this paper shit everywhere, but we have to *pay* for the privilege of receiving such a climate disaster inducing convenience?

Feel free to document your experiences. This is literally just this week for me.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

I had one of those stupid Subway bags catastrophically fail on me this weekend too. One 12”, one 6”, a bag of chips and 6 cookies inside.

Exact same thing happened ti me a couple days ago.

3 x 12" subs...fuck those bags

[killramos]

You lost the moment you decided to eat subway.

The bag was doing you a favour.

[Darell_n]

I still prefer paper bags being the scourge of our environment. Save the trees, horizontal drill instead.

Always choose Quiznos if you must eat at those types of sandwich establishments.

Quiznos still exists???

[03ozwhip]

Quiznos still exists???

Not in my town, but I do like it better. Subway is just salty goodness lol

[ExtraSlow]

+1 on Quiznos still exists?

Google maps says there may be a location 7 km from my house. That's pretty fuckin far considering it's further than 4 different malls.

May as well drive to Jimmy John's in Longview or whatever TPIM was talking about.

Why not neither

[firebane]

No but we do have a Mr.Sub and unlike the fuck heads at Subway they have roast beef.

[ThePenIsMightier]

Remember when Mr. Sub rebranded as Le Sub even in western Canada?!
Me neither.

[dirtsniffer]

Had to use paper bags at safeway. Person bagging my stuff ripped two of them in half containing eggs, milk and yogurt. Was nice enough to tell me "don't worry about the extra bags"

[max_boost]

Still have 5 boxes of plastic bags left at work
Gonna see if the city enforces this bylaw thing
Gonna show them the federal court ruling thing and see what they say lol

[CompletelyNumb]

Safeway paper bags. First one I picked up at the till blew out right then and there dumping it's contents.

[littledan]

Omfg dont get me started on bag bylaws. What in the living fuck. For fuck fucks. Fick.

[ianmcc]

Greggs stopped using plastic bags for a while but last few time in they have returned. And they thanked me for shopping Canadian.

[mr2mike]

Subway; Eat Fresh!

[ThePenIsMightier]

How can I order paper bags with custom images? Something like a Spotted Owl being raped by a Sea Turtle would seem appropriate.

AFAIK city isn’t changing bylaw despite the federal ruling. Par for the course for our council.

That said, some Karen is probably gonna rat you out. Best to give any Karen looking customer a paper bag. Make sure sauce is drippy.

[Tik-Tok]

The root problem is obviously plastic bags being banned, but it's also on the business to not be cheap fucks when purchasing paper bags.

[benyl]

My adult happy meal is much stronger!

[ShermanEF9]

The side of that is nightmare inducing.

[max_boost]

The wholesale club still sells these clear thin produce type bags. They seem to be okay if you double bag it.

There’s also another clear bag that’s a bit thicker like those zip lock bags minus the zipper. It fits 3 lunch boxes and You can just fold it and staple it like a paper bag. I’m assuming those are okay to use.

Paper bags lame. Those fabric bags too expensive. Supposed to charge customers 25c per new bag.
Will keep strength testing various bags before eventually caving in lol

[tha_bandit]

why can’t we use those compost/green bin style bags lol, better than paper, they seem to hold a lot. too expensive?

[dj_rice]

At least theres no bylaw forcing you to pay 15 cents/bag like they are here in Edmonton

Fukin sucks when your at the drive through and forget your bag and forced to take hot fries with your fingers.

[killramos]

Because sustainable solutions made in Alberta are literally Satan.

If it wasn’t Ottawa's idea it’s a right wing conspiracy.

[ExtraSlow]

COmpostable bag are illegal, just ask calgary co-op.

[Tik-Tok]

Sadly, we also have the same thing, and it increases to 25c in 2025

[ThePenIsMightier]

I vaguely remember a No Frills that used to have a giant bin of their leftover cardboard boxes that customers were encouraged to use to pack their purchases in.

It was a great Leap forward when we were no longer allowed to do that. The Earth warmed 5 eighths of a Fahrenheit that day, but it was worth it.

[shakalaka]

Edmonton has been charging 15 cents every time you go to a fast food restaurant and ask for a shitty paper bag to put your food in. Some new stupid bylaw.

You fuckin order a burger, fries and sauces and they ask each time if you want a bag. No bitch, just put the fries in my mouth all at once instead so I can save 15 cents on a fucking shitty paper bag that'd be dumping within minutes anyway.

[Swank]

That's what you get for triple meat-ing and being a pop drinker. I can't believe your driver didn't clean it up before you noticed.

[killramos]

You guys don’t have DoorDash deliver you your takeout?

Never be poor

[Tik-Tok]

DoorDash? I'd fire my personal chef if they were using it.

[Swank]

If you're settling for DoorDash then you're five kinds of poor.

^ Edit: Beat me to it, although I'd have my assistant fire them.

[ExtraSlow]

Door dash is good if you want a somalian with the flu to handle your cold fries.

[killramos]

What can I say, the French chef makes shit Pho

[bjstare]

Basically this. I would never order anything hot with a food delivery service.

I feel ok using them for sushi though.

Tell him to stop putting a pound of butter in it, and it should be ok.

Fuck that, keep them for a few years and they'll be worth billions when there is a shortage

Are these bags cloth or plastic like medical masks?

[suntan]

They are almost all made of plastic. Very few are not plastic - Urban Fare has some made of jute, these are the only ones I've ever seen that aren't plastic.

[D'z Nutz]

I had been collecting plastic bread clips for years for no reason other than I just tossed them into a container whenever I finished a loaf of bread and never think about them.

Now that they have paper bread clips that rip as soon as you open the bag, these plastic clips now have a second chance at life haha

Plastic will be the new crypto.

Mmmmm Saigon Deli, The best subs in Calgary. Tell me I'm wrong

My chinese takeout last night came in a plastic bag in a plastic bag?

[Tik-Tok]

Yeah, this week I've gotten a donair, banh mi, and Chinese food, all three were in plastic bags.

According to the city of calgary website, the punishment options for non compliance are:

- riding the c train unarmed
- biking to work
- date with gondek

[ExtraSlow]

That's fucking harsh

[bjstare]

Might as well be the death penalty. I think I might prefer that to a dinner with gondek.

[Darell_n]

Might as well be the death penalty. I think I might prefer that to a dinner with gondek.

No. It's all one punishment. Bike to a c-train station downtown to have dinner with Gondek on the train while unarmed.

[mr2mike]

I'd pull a George Bush during that dinner for sure.

LPT: Make it a two seater bicycle date, go on the C-train after dark, and take off on the bike (solo) when the meth-heads come at the two of you.

[ExtraSlow]

The purge yyc.

I got stuck at a charity dinner with Redford at my table once. It was gross.

But it's good to know your hatred of all things left wing comes from experience.

Need to be wealthy to get out at the good tables. Losers get put at the loser tables.

[Kloubek]

Quiznos still exists???


I thought so too. But there's definitely one still open on 130th SE still.

Better than Subway for sure. Subway is for pedos.

Do you have to be rich to be at a charity dinner
Asking for a friend
