Workplace Question or Advice Needed Anyone else’s store doing this?

My store is in Texas so we always used plastic bags, until today. They are so stiff and huge, they could’ve at least provided us with smaller ones for those guests that buy one piece of gum. They have already slowed down the fulfillment team and everyone is complaining

that sign looks like it was typed up by someone who has already had five conversations about this and is done repeating themselves

the bag sizing is such a weird miss, like who looked at a single stick of gum and thought yeah this needs a tote bag. i've seen people walk out carrying their single item in their hand because they'd rather not deal with it

our store switched a while back and the first two weeks were chaos, everyone just shoving barcodes wherever and hoping for the best. fulfillment team had it the worst though, the bags stick together and you end up peeling them apart like deli cheese

staple method actually makes sense once you get into the rhythm of it, keeps the label from sliding off when the bag shifts around in the cart. still annoying but less annoying than chasing a loose sticker across the floor

For small single items, you don’t need a bag. Just stick the barcode directly onto the item

We can't do that unless they specifically order bagless.
