Man, I could have told you that. I won’t buy one of their overpriced (10 cents!) little bags. I leave the store with 5-6-7 things in my hands. No one looking at me can tell whether I paid for them or not. It’s a shoplifter’s dream.
These laws are MORONIC. And I am not sorry for the stores. They sat on their hands because they WANTED this law because THEY get to keep every 1000% markup on every bag they sell. I know it’s basically just ten cents, but multiply that by 200 customers an hour at your basic grocery store, 5 bags each, for 24 hours. Why that is $2400 pure gravy a day they are getting from customers.
So I hope the stores lose their shirts. In the meantime they are not selling me any bags.
I am sure that the retailers would prefer not to deal with this B.S.
Focus your anger on the perpetrators, not the victims.
Impressive arithmetic. Lousy logic.
