Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Imagine if all these discount programs were linked not to the card, but to the bag. Bringing the same rugged bag with a chip could've become a new normal. (sh.itjust.works)

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.

That had nothing to do with this topic. The topic here is having a rewards chip built into a bag, which is what i was saying is a bad idea.

My idea was to make customers use a sturdy bag instead of one-use plastic ones.

Didn’t sound like that was the part you were objecting to given this is the comment you replied to.
