think about it Hank.. people grab crap and put it back in the store for someone else to grab all the time... some of those people also pick their butt before doing so... so now you have chicken juice and butt funk on the bag of Tortilla Shells because the person before you grabbed the wrong size and put it back...

washing the bags is just one step to help keep people safe...i dont know about you, but i would prefer to NOT get E coli, or MRSA while shopping...
