        How hard is it to just bring your own bags?? Answer: Not that friggin hard. Put them in your car to have on hand. The store should have stood their ground.

        Once upon a time, plastic shopping bags didn't exist. How ever did people survive? 🙄 All things considered, it's amazing the human race has lasted this long. Collectively, we are so stupid and lazy.

        No bags are "free". they've incorpaorated the price onto their other wares. People still have to pay.

        Next time Australians complain how climate change is hurting them ask why they weren't so keen to help the environment.

        Hopefully consumers will vote with their feet and use other markets.

        Backlash is increasing. They will regret this and I believe reverse their decision quite quickly.

        This is how it should be. It is courtesy of the store to give customers something to carry out their products.

        Compromise always seems to be a distant subject. Could be paper for most, plastic for meats, cut melons. @latimes
