I took in some walgreens and cvs bags, they didn't even look (or count for that matter). I only tried for one bag. At first they were just giving the bags out and tearing the tags off, then they just gave out coupons for the free bags. :) I gotta go get my kids, so I'm going to another HEB to get another one!

Man you would have thought I was asking for a kidney or something. Took my 10 plastic bags in and they gave me such a hard time. First it was "sorry not till 3pm", it was 2:50pm give me a break. Then it was "oh only one bag per customer" and "sorry they HAVE to be HEB bags". The the dude "overseeing" it started to gripe cashiers out because he thought they were telling people "2 bags per customer" and there was not a set time and that people could bring in any plastic bag. I corrected him real quick. I asked what does it matter if you bring in a Kroger or WalMart plastic bag its all going to be recycled anyway. He didnt like that and gave me the rudest look. Let him know I called corp. and asked how many bags are you allowed and I was told 2 per customer and that they could be any kind of plastic bag.
Told him "well Happy Earth Day to you". He wasnt sure what to make of it LOL

sorry you had a hard time with it

I had a hard time at my HEB too. The young girl would only give me one coupon for one free bag, even though I had three times as many bags (all HEB!), whatever. So when I went to redeem my ONE bag there was some guy getting three! So I spoke up and said that wasn't fair and pointed out I had DD with me so I should get at least two. She begrudgingly gave me two.
BTW - my store was also recycling those little buddy bucks containers. DD turned in enough for three small HEB bags!

WOW Now I am happy I didn't go today.... I didn't have the patience to deal with the HEB people the ones at my store are rude on a good day!

I went to my HEB straight from work and got a bag no problem.

Went home, grabbed my kids and mom and went back and got 1 more each(4). At first they were not going to give them to my kids but I showed how it said One per customer and they are customers

They knew nothing about the Buddy Bags though and I did bring some of those little canisters in too.
