Why is this so hard

Just buy reusable mesh bags and stop wasting plastic to protect your produce for a 20 minute car ride.

Produce Manager here. Place the end that opens directly between your two palms, and rub your palms together vigorously. The bag will stick to one palm or both, opening every time. Please stop licking your fingers to open these bags and then picking through our vegetables. You're gross.

All you do is put the top between the palms of your hands and rub them together like you've just come up with an evil plan and they pop open.

simply use the moisture from the sprayers

At least the bags say "OPEN HERE". We'd be fucked if they said "OPEN IN ZIMBABWE" or something like that.

I'll try for five minutes and find out it opens on the other end.

As a person with eternally sweaty palms, this right here is my superpower. (⁠⌐⁠■⁠-⁠■⁠)

If you listen closely you can hear him whisper words of wisdom such as: "I've tried both ends five times now!", "I think this one must be defective!", or my personal favorite "I don't think these are the same brand they had out last week!"

I go to the broccolis and touch the usually wet crate first.

Breath on your fingers like you're trying to fog up glass. Immediately open by running your fingers in opposite directions along the edge, using the additional friction you created.

Highlight of my life was shortly after I broke my arm, someone saw me struggling with one of these one-handed and opened it for me like the damn lockpicking lawyer. I've considered taking my sling with me shopping ever since, in case I need another good Samaritan to open one of these godforsaken bags again

It takes three times longer to open a dog poop bag when you are out in the cold and can't even feel your damn finger tips.

I just tap the tips of my finger and thumb to my tongue for a bit of moisture and then they open right up.

Just lick your fingers first! The grocery store sells food products, it and its patrons have to be hygienic …

I just wave it around frantically until the wind opens it.

I have dry hands, these are my nemesis

One of the best life tips I've ever gotten was from some random stranger as I desperately struggled with one of these things: Most times if you slide one edge up and one edge down it pops right open even with super dry skin. Not sure why this works when sliding the halves sideways does not but it dies!

You just rub both ends at the same time.

Those bags are almost useless, just throw the vegetables directly in your grocery bag at checkout. It's nice to take one to isolate chicken from the rest, or to put on your bike seat for rainy days, but definitely not useful for veggies.

Moses parted the sea faster than I separate the bag at the store

That's nothing, go buy a roll of dog poop bags...

All grocery stores actually sell a product that can help you with this, it's called "hand lotion".

after working at a supermarket you can open one in like 1s 🙏 skill issue

Like your uncle said back in the day: blow it

How have I become a dad? I don't even have a girlfriend.

I had filled one bag. Then tried to fill the othet with air to open it up, when the filled one broke and everything went out the bottom.

Tip: distress the edge by pulling at it. This causes the sides to separate. Sometimes you gotta create a tear to get them to separate enough to get it

Man, this stuff is so embarrassing. There have been so many times, I've skipped on buying fruits just because I couldn't open the bag and my anxiety engaged into overdrive

I always grab a disinfecting wipe at the entrance and use it to wet my fingers so I can open them.

it's called grocery bag fission
