Grocery shoppers in the D.C. area will need to downsize their zippered bags when visiting Giant Food.
A May 28, 2024, photo of the new bag policy signs posted at the Giant store along O Street NW, D.C. stated that starting late last week, suitcases, duffel bags, and bags larger than 14" x 14” x 6” that close have been banned at select stores in Washington, D.C.
The chain said theft has led to reduced product availability, a less convenient shopping experience and a growing risk for associates and customers. "Makes it extremely inconvenient," said Uber Eats delivery driver Johnny. "I get it. A lot of people are taking from stores, but there are so many things that are already in place.""I'm not throwing anything in here," Johnny said. "I mean who is gonna let me walk out throwing gallons of milk and eggs in this bag? Nobody."
