[quote=Anonymous]I’m in MoCo and I switched to reusable bags. I kept them in my car and bringing them into the store when I shopped became routine. Not only did the bag tax change my habits, but it changed the my mindset, as well as many other peoples’. Cashiers not only are conscientious about how they pack items so that they’re using fewer bags, but they also ask if you want a bag if you’re making a small purchase. They don’t just automatically put the greeting card you’re buying into a large plastic bag. Now I’m taken aback by the promiscuous use of plastic bags in grocery stores when I visit relatives in Ohio. There, if you purchase one tube of toothpaste and a carton of eggs, the cashier is gonna bag them separately.

Having said all that, some grocery stores in MoCo adopted a policy during Covid that if you’re bringing your own bags from home, you have to bag your groceries yourself. Now I’m back to getting new plastic bags if there’s a reason why I want help bagging my groceries.[/quote]
