I don’t even want a card. Name or phone number or I just don’t use their “rewards” program.
My idea was to make customers use a sturdy bag instead of one-use plastic ones.
Then just stop having single use bags. No need to be annoying AF by forcing them into one alternative that sounds janky anyway.
Why? Sounds terrible. So many down sides.
Arguably, it’s better than selling metal straws. Lots of single-use plastic is used for shoping bags alone. And these loyal customer cards… Why not to make them one thing?
Welcome to Europe, we are actually doing great
There is so much less plastic bag litter here in NJ since we banned single use plastic bags. Its not hard to keep a couple reusable bags in your car.
This is a really good idea!! I wish big corporations gave any amount of thought to not destroying the planet, this probably would be popular already if they did.
IKEA makes good sturdy bags already, I think other brands can see a benefit in doing so too.
My experience with shopping in California, they make the plastic bags (that you have to pay for) pretty sturdy so you can reuse them. At least at Target.
The issue with this though is people still litter these bags and being thicker plastic theyre even worse.
The downside for them would be that families share bags, but carry cards in personal wallets
If they want to data mine purchases, they might want it on the individual level
Hmm, I wonder what they think of me using my sister’s phone number for some places, and the last land line I had in others?
All big stores here sell sturdy bags for like $2 that will last for over a year. My oldest one is like 5 years old at this point and it still works great.
