Albuquerque: Result of plastic bag ban [View all]

Last edited Wed Jan 1, 2020, 03:51 PM - Edit history (1)

Being elderly and disabled, I have been using Wal-Mart Delivery for grocery shopping.

Today’s delivery totaled 38 items and, because plastic bags are no longer allowed, the items were sent to me loose
(see photo, items placed in my cart upon arrival at my apartment).

I thought they were to use paper bags? The ‘DoorDash’ delivery driver apologized, saying Wal-Mart refused any type of bag.

Again, this was "Wal-Mart Delivery" who sent the groceries to me via a DoorDash driver. I would expect Wal-Mart to put them in paper bags used at the store, and tack any fee onto my bill. I also expect/hope the drivers in the future will have something in which to carry the items.
