The grocery store loves you. Bags are a major expense for them - unless you’re in an area where they get to charge.
The only potential issue is extra scrutiny from loss prevention.
- frenchy 7y ago> unless you’re in an area where they get to charge. Why don't they do this everywhere? Is it because customers would throw a fit?
- Kluny 7y agoIn my city, it took a long time to get a plastic bag ban passed because of strong opposition from plastic manufacturer lobbyists who pretended that they were taking the side of "local businesses".
- skookumchuck 7y agoAround here, plastic bags are banned and paper bags have a per-bag tax. The store doesn't charge for the bags, they just pass on the tax. They didn't charge before the tax/ban, either.
