Almost 4 years from the original post, over 2 years after Artkansas's last post on the subject, maybe Artkansas can give us an update on him and Krogers' standings. Since I now have panniers, I no longer have issues with backpacks being impounded.

Last week, I did have a grocery store employee inform me, in a rather stern voice, that their hand held shopping baskets were not allowed to leave the store when I opted out on one of their plastic shopping bags.
