1L juice for comparison. You guys got these at your local? First time getting them in Brisbane. I use the paper bags for collecting recycling so the new size sucks for this.
My experience has been that Coles paper bags were already weaker/more prone to tearing than the Woolworths ones, so looks like they are doubling-down on their inferior product.
I had assumed they were introduced specifically for home delivery because they are the same height as the crates. Are you saying they're using these in-store?
Yeah I like these bags because I have an old Coles crate cable tied to my bike for transporting bigger items, so when I go shopping if I forget my reusable bags I grab the "stubby bags" (as my family have started calling them) because I can work out exactly how much I can transport home.
But in Western Melbourne I often have to ask for them, they usually have a stash behind the customer service desk. They're usually not with the other bags at check out, unless an employee has grabbed the wrong box to restock the checkout bag display.
That's because capitalism has corrupted the entire political system and only allows measures that cut business expenses or increase consumer spending.
Notice how the only "single use" plastics that were cut were business expenses. Meanwhile every product at the supermarket, every product you buy online, every postage satchel and padding — all wrapped in layers upon layers of single use plastic (or styrofoam, lol).
The elastic strap is a good idea. I have a couple of giant daiso bags that fit like 3 supermarket bags in them. Keeps them together and makes it a ton easier to carry instead of trying to loop 6 different bags through your fingers.
Ugh.

Yeah they’ll try and cut costs anywhere I reckon. Won’t be long and they’ll be disintegrating before you get them home!

This was click and collect, and brought out in crates, so maybe that’s why.
I had delivery recently and asked the driver about this. Can confirm they're sized to fit the crates.

Wouldn't know. Haven't shopped at Coles or Woolies in years. Only if I'm out of town and that's all I see. Try it; it's lovely :)
You guys have bags? We don't have bags in my part of the USA anymore. Plastic got banned and no stores have any paper bags.
In Victoria we didn't ban plastic, we made it so corps had to charge you for them. Really stupid.
Government legislated forced cost recovery and profits.
It's the future!
