Yeah, those ‘reusable’ canvas bags are nearly useless if someone is buying groceries for more than a day or two. Especially for those with larger families.
Paper bags SUCK. The plastic bags work the best. They can hold a good amount of items, and are handy to use around the house for other things.
This rule is gonna make shopping at Wal-Mart a nightmare!(worse than it is already!) I expect this may bring about a backlash from the citizens, but being California, they probably have a high tolerance for stupidity like this.
this may inspire the state splitting in two ....or three...
Sane California....and Insane California...
There's a reason Chinese restaurants and stores use plastic bags. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten take-out food, or taken home leftovers from a restaurant, to find a spill of gravy or soup inside once I got home. The plastic nicely contains the spills. Not so with paper or canvas bags, yuck. Paper or plastic, each has its use. Now we will suffer yet again because of enviro-nuts.
