after working at a supermarket you can open one in like 1s 🙏 skill issue
I’ll try for five minutes and find out it opens on the other end.
I do this with dog poop bags, it’s so frustrating!
The best days are when you successful open one … and realize it wasn’t sealed at the bottom either
I just wave it around frantically until the wind opens it.
This doesn’t usually work 😂. Tried it a few times 😂.
I just tap the tips of my finger and thumb to my tongue for a bit of moisture and then they open right up.
But at that point I’ve already wandered the whole store and have touched any number of things that could have been manhandled by all the other finger-licking, unmasked hand-sneezing, butt-scratching, non-hand-washing straw men in the grocery store. One of those dudes is a septic tank cleaner, and he doesn’t wear gloves because he says he’s allergic! And soap burns when it gets into all the oozing sores on his hands.
There’s no way I’m licking my fingers until I’ve washed them or at least forgotten about my pus-leaking, poop-handed caricature!
This is what I always did before covid but now I don’t anymore.
Yep, works like a charm 👍. Not really hygenic, especially of you’re doing the shopping right after work, but hey, if it works, I’ll take it 🤷.
Should probably mention I pick up the fruits and veggies with the bag like picking up dog doo, so I’m not licking my fingers and then touching food on the shelf. It shouldn’t be an issue of licking dirty hands after work; you can wash them in a bathroom either coming into the store or before leaving your jobsite.
Meeh, doesn’t really matter IMO, they get peeled anyway. Not one of those “oh, I’m not touching that” kind of people. They’re gonna get peeled, you’re not gonna use them as sex toys… or are you 🤔.
Do you peel your tomatoes?
You just rub both ends at the same time.
I find its easy to open up the bag while its still attached to the roll its like having more hands. I’ll definitely try crumpling the bag next time.
Put the opening “line” between your big hands and rub it; both hands goes along the “opening line”, one hand moves one way, the other hand the other way for say some centimetres or an inch or two, change direction, repeat.
It takes three times longer to open a dog poop bag when you are out in the cold and can’t even feel your damn finger tips.
I make my dog help since he’s a habitual licker
Just lick your fingers first! The grocery store sells food products, it and its patrons have to be hygienic …
/s
All you do is put the top between the palms of your hands and rub them together like you’ve just come up with an evil plan and they pop open.
Highlight of my life was shortly after I broke my arm, someone saw me struggling with one of these one-handed and opened it for me like the damn lockpicking lawyer. I’ve considered taking my sling with me shopping ever since, in case I need another good Samaritan to open one of these godforsaken bags again
I had filled one bag. Then tried to fill the othet with air to open it up, when the filled one broke and everything went out the bottom.
Breath on your fingers like you’re trying to fog up glass. Immediately open by running your fingers in opposite directions along the edge, using the additional friction you created.
Please don’t breathe your germs onto my vegetables
Well I hope you’re going to wash them anyway. There’s already a bunch more worse shit than a bit of breath condensation from a guy standing a few feet away breathing onto his hands.
No need to add to it, you have to pick them up and I’d rather not have more germs on them from some troglodyte putting their saliva on them
If you’re that concerned about every “troglodyte” out there doing anything that may remotely spread a couple of germs, I advise you wear a hazmat suit when you go out. And when you’re inside. Just, always. Life’s filthy, take precautions before you put something in your body (wash it, cook it, etc) but past that, man… good luck.
Asking for a modicum of sanitary practices isn’t an absurd request.
A “modicum” of sanitary practices doesn’t include something as innocuous as using some breath condensation to open a bag lol. Say that to the parents not watching as their kid snots all over the place. If you wanna call someone a troglodyte, maybe reserve it for the guy who sneezes without covering. The level of harm someone does by selecting their produce, tearing off a bag, and God forbid breathing on their hands is actually nil.
Produce Manager here. Place the end that opens directly between your two palms, and rub your palms together vigorously. The bag will stick to one palm or both, opening every time. Please stop licking your fingers to open these bags and then picking through our vegetables. You’re gross.
Vegetable Farmer here. That shit is already gross. Wash your veggies.
Produce Manager here. Thanks for all of the gross vegetables!
Consumer of vegetables here. Where can I find the yams?
I knew there will be a comment like this.
A breath of hot air also makes the bag stick to your hands and easy to separate. Like you’re trying to fog a window.
That’s nothing, go buy a roll of dog poop bags…
