Sure, but it doesn’t mean they’re not going to think you’re stealing and follow you around and/or give you shit.

Current laws in america mean all they can do is document any instances of theft.
Most the time noone looks at anyone specifically until a serious and repeated pattern is made, and even after that its likely nothing happens.

I use my own bag a lot of the time because my usual grocery store (ShopRite) doesn’t put out baskets anymore. I don’t want a cart or need a cart, I want a basket, but they’re never out anymore. Like, they’re just gone…
So either put the baskets back out, or accept we’re going to use our reusable bags as baskets. Granted, I flip mine upside down in front of the self checkout camera to show I’m not stealing, but ffs… Just put the baskets back. 😭
