First off lets stop calling them free bags the store pays for them, as a cashier a customer will sometimes ask to take an extra bag and that is fine some customers try to take 10 bags as they leave this is not fine, the store expects us to use as few bags as possible and to fill them up. However i often double bag without asking if i feel it is needed, and their are different quality of bags the bag you get in say a dollar store is inferior to the bags we use. I don’t consider myself an environmentalist but plastic bags are awful for the environment, if this causes people to use reusable bags i say it is for the better. The town where i live just enacted a similar law and i know that customers will gripe about it but that is what they do best.
