Boulder to institute 10-cent bag fee for paper/plastic- aka Boulder= full retard

I find it funny that gas stations are exempt ....

They wanna put all your stuff in a bag all the time ...


what you can't carry the two cans of soda you just bought with your hands ????

I try to avoid bagging when I can but you can't at the grocery store.

No doubt, I always ask for paper bags as they seem to pack more into them.

"And going to use the rest of the money to distribute reuseable bags to low income residents." What??? what is cheaper than the reusable plastic bags I give you at the grocery store?

Why are you bagging milk? Doesn't it have a handle for a reason?

yo, clerk boy, go get a couple boxes and put them in boxes.

bitches

no way am I paying a FUCKING TAX to the damn city for such a common item (and I do agree with the earlier post about the way they bag items today is stupid, 1 item per bag almost)

hahaha, good question. I don't, but for some odd reason I have definitely been asked that question on multiple occasions, so clearly lots of people out there do....

I would be interested is seeing how much it curbs bag use. Sounds more like another revenue source disguised feel good legislation.

Driving E. Colfax, between Aurora and Bennett, there are thousands of plastic bags in the fencing and stuck in the grass/weeds. Sad to see but I doubt a new tax would fix the problem.

At least they didn't do anything really stupid, like tax candy and sodas.

Well, I used to use a backpack, but if a person's riding their bike to the store, it'd be easier to transport in a bag (which you could, say, slip onto the handlebars) rather than trying to hold onto the handle the whole way.

Experienced the fun today at King Soopers during my lunch break. After paying (including the 10 cents) and walking towards the door, the self checkout overlook person came running after me "sir did you pay for the bag!?!"...full retard in affect
