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?:rolleyes: |

lol, what? The market should cater to people who want 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? |

Moron. You can buy plain white bags for the garbage at Canadian Tire, Walmart...and I would also imagine hardware stores and the like. |
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. |
