Great idea!~
Folks don't think twice about paying for a glass from the dollar store 1.00. How much do they think that glass costs?!?! VERY LITTLE.... It's all doable.
Do you remember the Stamp dispenser hanging by the register?
The cashier would stick her finger in the dial and turn it to dispense the correct number of stamps?
Fabric packaging would be pretty neat to see a comeback in some form.
But... food safety is much more of an issue these days.
I don't even see french bread sold in the long paper bags at the stores without being in a plastic sleeve as I remember years ago.
After being so accustomed to our current ways of packaging food.. I think I'd almost be skeeved out if it didn't come packaged and sealed!
Funny. I live in North Louisiana and shop at a store that offers stamps. The clerk puts his finger in a slot and dials the correct number of stamps!
