Don’t want something, just ban it... crazy.
Tax the bags. Sell the bags. If someone is recycle-crazy, good for them. But don’t ban one of the best inventions shoppers have ever known. Really want a scheme? Reward stores that make cardboard boxes available at the register (most get many products in these boxes, free, anyhow).
I have a canvas bag from Barnes and Noble...makes me look like I'm smart. Better than those Gold stars on my forehead.
In areas where the bags are already banned, they charge $.10 or $.25 for a paper bag. That charge is sure to rise, and before you can turn around, they'll be charging a dollar or more for something that was once free.
Target will take 5 cents off your purchase for every bag you bring for your purchase.
I remember when they banned paper bags, to save the trees. Now this, it’d be hilarious if it wasn’t so downright idiotic.
Are we going back to paper bags now? heh
