Zero Packaging Grocery Store Opens in Austin

I was thinking about a year or so ago, what a great idea it would be for supermarkets to sell food in bulk so that customers can bring their own containers, thereby doing away with wasteful packaging. Lo and behold, some wonderful entrepeneurs have come up with such a store in Austin. We have bulk food sections in stores here, but not entire stores designed this way. Way cool!

I can't imagine this being hygienic or mess-free. It's going to harbor so much filth, nobody will want to shop there. Ew. Imagine people's grubby hands all over the food.. Stupid kids sneezing on it and wiping their boogers on the dispensers. With no packaging to keep the germs out, they will just spread through the food and it will be risky to buy anything from there.

I wish them well.

We had some hard core hippies who wanted our Food Coop to go in this direction. We couldn't see it as being capable of actually paying the workers a living wage.

But we are a small town -- maybe there are enough hippie types in Austin to make it work.

I really do hope it makes it.
