This is my lived experience. I moved from a place without a bag policy to a place with a hefty bag tax. At first I was caught without my reusable bags a bunch of times - each time buying new reusable bags for my purchases (instead of wasting money on the tax)... Now I am awash in reusable bags and I almost never forget them.
For me the shift was very akin to masking up during COVID-19. I found it hard and weird for about 3wks, now it's just part of going out. Leaving the house? You need a mask and your bags.
- moate 4y agoI would imagine the curve of "people buying new bags because they forgot" over time is real real high over the first 6 months, with sharp drop at some point and a thin tail in the future. The idea of people frequently forgetting bags and needing to buy one at check-out just doesn't seem to jive with long term reality from what we've seen in other places that have done similar things.
