Just a follow up to say Ellwood Thompson’s still have plastic bags. And their service is so incredibly rude, including the female manager with the shortish dark hair. What a joke! I’m not shopping there anymore.

I think that the reusable bags are a great idea. It saves on costs for all parties involved and furthermore, it helps to save our environment. The part of this article that grabbed my attention is the lack of customer service. The fact that they are changing over to reusable bags isn’t going to lose customer loyalty as much as their lack of customer service on other ends. That is something they may want to think about as well! Customer Loyalty is what is going to be profitable, especially in today’s economy.

Has anyone bothered to inquire whether the “environmentally correct” bags are made in the United States? If the bags are made in the U.S. than I would congratulate ET in supporting U.S.companies that are making a product and employing Americans. If the “green” bags are not made in the United States I say to the management of ET, “wake up” and show some compassion to the masses in the U.S who are unemployed. Ellwood Thompson’s you want consumers to support your store.. than support U.S. made products. If you cannot find a U.S company that makes the “green” bags than
perhaps E.T. should start up a company in the U.S producing such bags. One more thing..I DO NOT SUPPORT your ban on using paper bags if it means more Americans losing their jobs. Think your policies through completely.

ALSO:

There is no TRUE environmentally reciprocal “natural/local/organic whatever” market out there.

You know what every liner, in every trash container, in every store, EVER, is made from?

INDUSTRIAL
GRADE
PLASTIC

Actually, they allow us plenty of free food.

The “critical” health violations were essentially a snafu; if you eat out at any fan restaurant or nearly ANY restaurant in Richmond you’re going to be eating from a MUCH MUCH dirtier kitchen. Also the violations were immediately corrected.

I don’t have a single tattoo, my pants have a belt. Mold is a naturally occuring organism. If it’s in your food, report it or return it. Mold can accumulate in any environment.

As far as the management goes – yes, they are near imbeciles. And greedy. The rest of us (employees) are good people. We care about our ‘customers’ (friends), and MOST of us have ethical minds. I help everyone to the fullest extent possible.

You can’t make everybody happy.
