Its also the only way I can open a plastic bag in the meat section of Costco.
I may try to suggest that the other grocery stores adopt this brand but they are big national chains and I doubt they would be interested.
for reference, this bag says PULL-N-PAK® Titan Supreme 28-2024-11-2 www.crownpoly.com
There's always a fraction of a cent to be saved by adding slightly less adhesive, using slightly cheaper plastic, replacing the perforating tool less often, etc.; couple iterations in, the solution stops working reliably. There's no back pressure, because it's not like anyone is choosing where they shop by whether the single-use plastic bags are easy to open.
Oddly, the plastic bags in the produce section do not have that problem. I now just grab one of those and use it for my meat.
