2:02Now PlayingShoppers in New Jersey have no choice but to bring a reusable bag into the local supermarket. With a ban on plastic and paper bags, most people say it's turning into more of a nuisance because they're overwhelmed with reusable bags. So shoppers forget to bring bags to the store and then have to buy them over and over again. Plus at-home grocery delivery services — such as Amazon Fresh, Instacart, and Walmart Grocery — bring groceries to customers in the reusable bags, too, and do not take the bags back. Therefore, the bags just keep piling up. And piling up. And another problem that has surfaced since the ban: grocery store customers are finding other ways to bring their essentials home. People are stealing plastic hand baskets, according to multiple supermarket chains in New Jersey.
