    I’m still hacked off that the bag fee was created only as a punishment for single use plastic bags, then once plastic bags were phased out the cunts kept it in and raised the cost with different tiers of biodegradable, reusable and woven bags.

      I like how my state in the US actually managed to do something right for a change.

      We phased out plastic for the most part (there is a small business exception) via a tax and now paper bags a free everywhere and many stores sell reusable bags. There was never any mandate to offer paper bags or reusable bags it was just something the free market figured out on its own. Simple legislation made the world a better place.
