if that's a small amount, then why don't they foot the bill for every bag they give out, a few pennies goes to some green-charity? And give incentives to their customers to switch to permanent bags?

the market should cater to those who want free bags (as what happened in the past).
lol, what? The market should cater to people who want shit for free? I hate to burst your little bubble but that's not how things operate.

OR - they could charge for the bags and pass the proceeds to a green charity. That would definitely be a way to make the whole thing easier to swallow for people who can't hack the idea of paying 5 cents for a plastic bag.

i like the old way where you could opt to add a few cents to your grocery bill for a selected charity. Ahhhh the days of choice and option... i miss those.

they gave them out free but they were paid for within the cost of the food... now they charge twice.

Was there a plastic bag fairy that came down to each store, and dropped off tones of magic/free bags?

But aren't you glad you have the choice of not paying the additional 5 cents?

and they cost a lot more than 5 cents, so he really has no argument here.
I think you were bang on in the other thread...he's just a complaining vagina.
