Do anyone know if H-Mart (Korean grocery) currently charges for plastic bags?


In NY, HMart provides free paper bags. I don't remember if they charged for plastic before plastic bags were banned.

The paper bags are there as a back up. People will bring their own bags.

It won't. Unless the taxman is standing at the self-checkout, I'll just enter zero bags and be on my way.

I want to say there were some places in MoCo where they removed the plastic bags from self checkout entirely.


Yes, Delaware replaced with paper.


But what about the trees?

It doesn't. The law isn't until Jan 1.

Welcome to the 21st century!

The "I drive my 8-seater SUV to Starbuck's for a single cup of coffee every day and my house is full of cr*p I don't need - what do they care if I ALSO get 74 pastic bags every time I step into a grocery store" style complaints on social media are pathetic!
