Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

THIS is how bad the Supply Chain has become. For the last 2 weeks Dollar Tree in my town (and possibly other towns as well) has run out of shopping bags. So far, I have taken them 2 large sacks full of my grocery and other store bags to reuse. They are grateful and don't care if it's a Walmart or other store brand bags. I was told yesterday that they're supposed to get a shipment today; but they were told that last week too and Nothing. I know that most all if not all of their merchandise comes from China, but with today's economy, you have to shop for the cheapest. I will ride this wave out doing what I have to do until there are no more Chinese products. Until then, just thought I'd tell you how bad it is when a store can't get a shipment of shopping bags.
Stop buying from China, period. And why not use resuable tote bags... The plastic shit all comes from china and ends up in the ocean.
