“People know that today’s plastic bags are thin. Some customers only want one.

When I was last in the states, it was common for the checkout clerk to ask “paper or plastic”. Is that no longer a choice?
Where I live now, there are no paper bags for anything. Everything, down to a piece of candy, goes into a plastic bag. The bag thickness increases with size.
OH! Bag politics are quite the rage right now. In some storms, grocery, you get a choice of paper, plastic, or the bags you bring in. But, then you get into places like Boulder where you will now pay a “bag tax” if you use a plastic bag because they are bad for the environment.
Liberals are so freaking confused. We had to switch to plastic because paper bags were destroying the forests. Then we had to bring back paper because they were more environmentally friendly. Now we have to use reusable bags because they are the “most” environmentally friendly. Except reusable bags are not clean, and spread things like salmonella and e-coli.
We are in a mess here.
