California's plastic bag ban is failing. Here's why

[Mr.Bill]

1. I go to a grocery store that is unique

in that the have never used plastic bags. Always used paper only. By law, they have to charge me ten cents for each bag. But here is something else they do. If I bring my own bag, they pay me five cents for each one. It's not big money, but the third time I use the bag, I'm breaking even.

Also, when most stores would not let you bring your own bag because they were worried about spreading the virus, they let you bring your own but you had to do the bagging yourself, which I usually do anyway.

They also enforced mask rules better than most stores. If you refused to wear a mask, they offered to go get your groceries for you and bring them to the door where you could pay.
