5. they banned them in chicago. lots of stores just switched

to a heavier bag, which at least is reusable, and you can actually fill the damn things. no more on item per bag.
some stores went w paper, and they have a couple reusable options, from a 10¢ cheapo to a $1 good, big reusable.
couple stores i have been in offer no free bags, but cheap reusables.

it is the light weight ones that are a waste. and when they double them up ALL.THE.TIME because they are crap bags......
