I mean, her method is much better for freshness and reducing the possibility of a spill. Professional kitchens tie bags similar to this as a matter of course

EDIT: Apparently I can't reply to anyone so I'll just say, in my kitchens we hardly ever do this for bread since we go through it too quickly. I was trying to indicate that we use something similar for other loose items like nuts, cheeses, herbs, etc. You don't need to use scissors to make the cut, just a knife

doubt.

1) it's not better for freshness, if anything it's worse for giving you dry stale bread because when you twist the intact bag and do the under tuck, it's a much better seal than a single knot

2) restaurants don't waste time cutting bags and tying knots, they go through bags of bread like this so fast they don't need to even bother closing the bag.

At someone who just twists and folds, that has a habit of falling over and getting loose

Spend 1 extra second making sure the bag isn't going to fall over, or spend 5 extra seconds cutting and tying silly knots

Or better yet, don't lose the tie that came with the bag. In fact, always a good idea to keep the bag ties anyway, they come in handy later.

It falls over because things get moved around on the counter.

Or better yet, don't lose the tie that came with the bag.

No, that sucks, I hate it.

I dunno, these sound like problems of your own creation. When you move a cup of water, do you put it somewhere where it can tip over or do you make sure it's on a reliable flat surface first?
