They start charging you for grocery bags now...

so when I lived in Germany in the 70's, feo,
was that mandated ?

I thought the locals just had bags of their own and used them.

btw, mstreepsucks we've been charged for bags for about 3 years in California.

you get used to those reusable ones, keep them in the car.

Like wickedkittiesmom said, people think you are shoplifting.
