I think the conventional, not faggy way to execute this is to put cold stuff in your cart as usual and then bag into the insulated bag at the register.

>>15641168
This.

>>15641168
I suppose that makes sense, but does increase the exposure to warm temps some. Yeah its easier taking things out of the cart not insulated bag.

>>15641153
I just get all my cold shit at the end of the shopping trip.

>>15641197
That may have been good at one time, but since the china flu there are walkways you must follow. You can't just go back to an area if you forget something without going out the door.

>>15641153
I don't do this, because all my food arrives at my door in a refrigerated van.

>>15641204
Poor soul. What a terrible waste. I'm sorry dude, hopefully you can rectify your situation once things get back to normal. You are missing all the little girls in Elsa dresses flashing you pulling on her garments. Also new things you haven't tried and seeing neighbors and friends at the market. I could never give that up. And pay more too? And waste some guys time? Haha, never.

>Waste of money
It's $1.50, yo. That's 1000% worth the hour it would take to shop myself.

>>15641153
Why do you care what we think? Are you insecure? To answer your question, young nubile teens do not go to the grocery store

>>15641213
>Also new things you haven't tried
Eh? There's a muuuch wider selection of stuff online than in any one given store.
>waste some guys time?
Guys who are.. employed full time to do just that?

>>15641202
damn where is that the rules? we can just walk around in supermarkets here but these are america sized aisles

>>15641153
What are you british?
You're naturally queer, no wonder the USA got the fuck away from the brits.

>>15641246
No, American.

>>15641241
<much wider selection

Yeah, that is true. Is it at the same store though? Just wondering.

>>15641216
What is 1.50? Shipping and handling isn't that cheap. Most of the time the websites prices are inflated. You can't honestly tell me they are charging just 1.50 for some dude to go collect it from the store, give it to a driver and driver deliver it to you. That's silly.

Anyways, we are getting off topic about the insulated bags.

>>15641153
>would it be queer to bring a bag into a store
>do young teens do this
it's not an uncommon sight, considering more and more states are planning to charge customers for plastic bags. but come on op, the grocery store is not the internet, no one is going to judge you for carrying around a grocery bag. actually caring about what strangers think about you is without a doubt one of the most faggot things ever.

>>15641466
Not carrying, I just thought it would be useful to have the bag in my cart open to put cold stuff in instead of waiting until I get to the car.

>2021
>not using replicators

>>15641202
if you actually obey the arrows thinking it will stop corona or that anyone would care which way you walk then you’re retarded

>>15641676
>in someones store
>doesn't want to obey his rules

Ehh fuck you owner! I will shop here and do what I wan't.

>doesn't respect store owner for providing you a service

Ehh, fuck everyone else as well in the store, you can conform but Ill just fuck everything up for everyone!

What a nice fellow you are. When you are in any establishment, you follow the rules of the proprietor or you fuck off and do it/find it yourself. lol.

I can keep sushi in the fridge for days with one of these.

No, it wouldn't be faggy. I bring my insulated bag and two canvas bags every time I go to the store, who gives a shit what some random people and employees think about you?

>>15642271
I just didn't know if it was improper or not. Some groceries take offense if I open carry. I rarely see others actually carrying insulated bags. Cheap ones yeah now and then but not insulated. Also with the fake china cough thing a year ago it may make people nervous.

Oh geeze, OP here... I meant think it queer as in "weird". not like a actual child fucker (aka homosexual)

It would be neat if we had these things around our house so when we light the fire, all the heat doesn't go out the wood planks in winter. Styrofoam bubble wrap does wonders against the hard wall and windows.

>>15641168
I bag the cold stuff when I get to my car, where I can take my time if I need to.

>>15641202
Everyone is laughing at you for following made up arrows

>>15641202
Rules are fake.

>>15641213
Except that pedos get the rope. That's a good rule.

>>15641153
I used to see people bring the cooler bag in.
Then, there was a shoplifting problem, and people forgot to bring all their cold items out to be scanned.

In retaliation, the store no longer allows people to place items in bags before checking out; you're supposed to leave your carrier bags folded flat and empty while shopping.

>>15641153
I saw a couple pushing around a shopping cart covered in what looked like foil the other day. It was in one of those Amazon Fresh places, so I don't know if they were using it to protect their goods from evil radio waves, COVID, or some other shit.

>>15641153
Yeah, if you go in there with an insulated bag, everyone will stop what they are doing and point at you, and say "Look at that queer with his queer bag"

>>15641709
everyone laughs at your candy ass, I'll enjoy my groceries at their proper temperature

>>15641153
Bring it in. Frozen food isn't frozen anymore. It is kept at the bare minium to save on freezer energy useage. You'll just have to get over the fact that you are a fag now.

>>15641153
why? raw meat can be at room temp for 4 hours and thats by restaurant standard. Is your shopping trip taking longer than that or do you live in the desert or some shit where its 100+ degrees year round?

>>15641153
iirc lining a bag with metal will prevent those shoplifting alarms from going off. So if you live in a shithole like I do (the entire state of California) and you go to one of those shithole stores (dollar general) you might get some looks. I suppose, I'm not sure if the insulating material of one of those boxes will even work but you might look weird doing it.
Why bother anyway? The only time I've considered something to be temperature sensitive was fresh fish I get off the pier which is generally boxed with ice or dry ice in styrofoam.

>>15641202
>must
Where do you live that people actually use those arrows? I work in a grocery store with one-way arrows on the floor, but customers don't follow them and we don't really enforce the rule.

>>15643126
>>15641676
Some places I go have, no fucking lie, made god damn mazes blocking off areas so I need to walk throughout the entire fucking store just to get one item.

>>15645206
Ice cream can melt and separate.

>>15641153
Nah bringing your own bag isn't queer, but I do not bother to bring a bag with me most of the time
I also never had any grocery spoil in the car so I don't see the need for a insulated bag, unless you live in a dessert
