Supermarket Of The Future: Paper Or Plastic?

"Paper or plastic?"

These three words may soon be eliminated from supermarket transactions. IBM filed US Patent No. 7,407,089 which will store a customer's preference on a card.

Paired with nonexistent price tags and social networked shopping, this stands as another step forward in achieving the Supermarket of the Future.

However, it must be said: with our world turning green before our very eyes, shouldn't supermarkets universally support reusable shopping totes instead? Shouldn't "customer preference" instead be "Fascist demand customers use reusable totes or paper bags embedded with sensors that track whether or not said shopper recycles"?
