Just a heads up for all, if you use any form of heavier duty ziplock bag be it gallon size down sandwich size to keep things dry or God forbid in my case need some to pack with ice to ice an injury make sure you bring them with you. As you walk past all the nooks and crannies and electric conduits and holes stuffed with discarded plastic bottles and trash to get to the Mega beware, once inside you’ll pass thousands and thousands of items packaged in plastic but when you get to the plastic bag section the ziplock bags will be on display but behind some yellow caution tape that has been put up for some reason. So, grabbing a box of gallon size ziplock bags and other items we head to the checkout counter were we are informed that while still on the shelf the store now refuses to sell them! Excuse me? Over come a manager who also explains they are no longer for sale even though they are still on the shelf. We then head to Chedraui and find no ziplock bags whatsoever on the shelf. Now, you can still purchase those cheap little folding plastic sandwich bags by the 100’s that you ate PB&J sandwiches out of for lunch in the 2nd grade and you can purchase all the kitchen trash bags you want but apparently ziplock bags are now banned on the island. Got to say that over 20 years visiting the island I’ve never seen one on a beach, in the water, or blowing around town but maybe others have that has caused this outright panic and ban of the sale of these things. What a joke! I’ve no problem with banning plastic grocery bags but ziplock bags? C’mon.
