Re: Ikea to charge U.S. customers for plastic bags
When I moved to the UK, I was surprised that I had to pay for shopping bags, but it was not a life-altering transition. I think it took more time to get used to having to bag my own groceries and most Tescos and Sainsburys.
In Canada, there are a few supermarkets that are charging for grocery bags, including Superstore. I usually purchase so little that I can just carry it out. But when I have had to purchase bags, it was just one of those things I did without really questioning it.
I guess my point is that it is nothing new to have to purchase shopping bags. I guess when they refer to the United States as the Land of the Free, they did not include grocery bags.
GROCERY BAGS DESERVE EQUAL RIGHTS!
Okay, I'm done now.
