Is it weird or abnormal to carry my groceries onto a bus? Any

can you carry them in a back pack?

Some of them, yes.

it's even weirder to not eat for fear of looking weird

Its my first time doing this kind if thing so I wanted to know.

People around me - myself included - do this all the time anon. Just don't over think it. I live in D.C. but I don't think it makes sense to be self conscious about your groceries buddy. Hope that helped :)

People just tell themselves: fuck why do i have a car to go to the grocery store while i could just take the bus and saves hundreds of bucks per year

I do it and see a lot of people doing it. Be careful to not buy too much at a time that you can't carry

In my home city (San Francisco), where parking is terrible and lots of people don't have cars, I see people carrying bags of groceries home on the bus literally every time I ride the bus. People, mostly but not exclusively older folks, often use these little wire folding carts with wheels, turning a few bags of groceries into something similar to a wheeled suitcase. They're a little awkward to get in and out of the bus, but undeniably make it easier to get a lot of groceries down the sidewalk. I don't use one myself but would without hesitation if I didn't live within walking distance from my grocery store.

I use a couple of large canvas tote bags, slinging one over each shoulder.

Do what you have to do to get by. It's not nice but you'll get your food, and it'll make a man out of you to do this for a while. Fuck what the others think, they have no idea who you are. Just don't be the idiot who struggles to walk in a straight line with 7 plastic bags.

it depends on the area, but nobody should judge you for it. at the worst, it's a little sad that nobody is driving it for you.

when I see old people doing this I think goddamn, but when I see a young guy it's very understandable, just kind of a shame nobody will make the runs with you like I said

also this

cities where more people get around on foot will not judge you remotely for this

Thanks. I've been going through some rough waters with the family lately and I can't drive, so I need to do something about this.

Also, would taking bags/a backpack into the store look bad or suspicious?

>>17477868
>would bags look suspicious?
yes and no, but who cares. just explain you are on foot. maybe get some open grocery bags, like those "environmentalists" use.

There's a device you frequently see people use to take groceries home in a city that looks sort of like a wire cage on wheels with a handle. Any hardware store or a place like Walmart will have them.

But honestly there's no need to feel embarrassed.

Nah man I've done that too to keep my hands free. Just make sure you keep the receipt so if they ask you it won't be an issue. Hope shit gets better for you.

This is totally normal, backpacks are normal too, just put the groceries in after you buy them. Or use the reusable bags, they're sold in every store here(Canada) they hold more and no one gives them a second look. Not that I'd given a second look to a plastic bag either

Don't steal and don't intend to steal and you'll be fine

Get a car you poor fuck
