[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1254391, member: 43436"] I visit family in the Los Angeles-area a few times per year, and noticed (beginning over a year ago) that many Krogers were charging a dime per paper bag; however, they still offered complimentary plastic bags with a sign reminding consumers that they were free to recycle in-store. I assumed at the time that Kroger was playing politics (guess I was right). The Kroger in Malibu still offered free paper bags (plastic has been banned for awhile there) in November - not certain if they're going to start charging. The Krogers by my house (Midwest) still use strong paper bags that house handles. Always amusing to watch people liberally grab a stack as they walk out, and the store do nothing about it. I typically bring my own reusable bags, anyway; I did that before it was cool because I spilled milk in my car... if you've had that happen, you'd understand why I wanted something stronger :). My mom's notorious for purchasing 10 two-liters of soda (when they're 10/10), TRIPLE bagging them, then putting them in a box in her car's hatch, tossing out the bags [U]in the parking lot[/U]. Wastefulness always kills me. [/QUOTE]
