Also these bags are NOT single use.
Millions of people re-use them to clean the litter box, pick up dog poop, line small trash receptors and a hundred other uses. A buddy of mine uses them for luggage. lol

” they’re just better, and called “multiple use”.”

Haven’t seen that yet myself here in NY State. In my neck of the woods, there’s no plastic available, but paper is available for a surcharge, largely payable to the state. Time will tell.

Update from Upstate, a Southern Tier county that sits along the PA border...

Chemung County Legislators set to vote on resolution opposing paper bag fee

Not every county in NYS opted for mandating the fee. One merchant in Chemung County is charging 10 cents a bag. Most of the consumers I've talked to think the bag charge is the county's fault. This is the county legislature voting to inform them otherwise.
