1L juice for comparison. You guys got these at your local? First time getting them in Brisbane. I use the paper bags for collecting recycling so the new size sucks for this.

I had assumed they were introduced specifically for home delivery because they are the same height as the crates. Are you saying they're using these in-store?

I had delivery recently and asked the driver about this. Can confirm they're sized to fit the crates.

This was click and collect, and brought out in crates, so maybe that’s why.

Yeah I like these bags because I have an old Coles crate cable tied to my bike for transporting bigger items, so when I go shopping if I forget my reusable bags I grab the "stubby bags" (as my family have started calling them) because I can work out exactly how much I can transport home.

But in Western Melbourne I often have to ask for them, they usually have a stash behind the customer service desk. They're usually not with the other bags at check out, unless an employee has grabbed the wrong box to restock the checkout bag display.
