Well, I brought my own container to Whole Foods today because I was planning to buy some local grass-fed beef. The guy working the counter didn't seem to have any problem with putting the meat in the container I brought, but again, he did have to measure the beef onto some thin butcher paper. After measuring, he looked thoughtful for a minute and then went back to the wrapping station. Before I knew it, he had wrapped up the beef as usual before setting it neatly in my container. I guess next time I will have to be more specific. But I am glad to see that there doesn't appear to be any health code violation associated with bringing your own container.
I also picked up some oats from the bulk section.
It would be pretty easy to bring your own container for this, but it would have to be something very lightweight because you must weigh it on the scale yourself, and you wouldn't want to pay for the extra weight of the container. I think biodegradable bags like the
BioBag would be a great option, or possibly a very lightweight cloth bag. Really, Whole Foods should supply biodegradable bags in their stores.
