Not using a basket keeps me from buying a bunch of extra shit I probably don't need.

Just wait until he discovers the store no longer provides bags….

No, they'll still provide bags. But it's the woven cloth ones that cost $1 per bag. I have about 57 of them at home.

so you're pretty close to being able shop there and provide all the bags you'll need without needing to buy any more.

You can grab a cardboard box at checkout.

For free. I have yet to encounter a retail store that won't sell you a bag of some kind.

This is just an advertisement for this store. does this place have a hail corporate yet?

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's just a genuine thing that happened to me. Not everything that mentions a store is an ad.

But capitalism!n!!n!!n

What's happening is that when things act as an ad they fulfill the same marketing purpose as a paid advertisement. Just because it happened to you, doesn't mean talking about it online is not marketing in its effect. But I see where you're coming from.
This idea is like thinking that people with shirt with huge brand names on them are helping to raise that brand's awareness level with others. Things can be more than one thing at the same time.
