It’s not just bags. It’s the expense of electricity, soap, machinery wear, etc, to do all these things that the NAZIs have declared evil for ecology (to use a pre-1990 term).
Sure pennies add up, but if we can get them for about a penny they do not even pay that, while it likely takes more time/labor to deal with bags that customers bring than filling their own. The point is that I see no real significant savings to stores by using the latter (otherwise they would have likely been charging for them).
