My city banned single-use plastic bags. For a couple years they went away. Then they came back and are now 10x thicker so they can be marketed as reusable.

- bluefirebrand 3y agoThis is how I feel about these "reusable" bags too. If you sell them at a checkout, you aren't making people adjust to remember to bring bags. You're just making them spend more to buy single use bags. They definitely are accumulating enough in my house that I'm contemplating using them as bin liners, which is stupid. But I'm probably not gonna change. Besides, even if I brought my bags 100% of the time when I went to the store, if I ever order my groceries to be delivered, which I do when I'm super busy at work or too sick to go to the store, they seem to arrive packed into as many reusable bags as humanly possible. So anyways, yet another thing that we should be leaning on companies to fix but individuals are being blamed for. Paper bags would have been better but not profitable enough compared to selling "reusable" bags at the checkout line.
