I wouldn?t have a problem with this if it was the business deciding they wanted to do this, I would pay it if it was my favorite store but having the Government just create a new tax boils my blood. Curious if we?d have this new law if it was on the ballot itself. Methinks no way in hell!
I got to experience this today and quickly figured out that the produce bags are exempt from the law so I grabbed a few dozen of those, you know some things need to be double bagged and the produce bags are a bit weak, and made my way home like that.
I usually use these bags again for random things, lunch bag, trash bags in bathrooms, picking up dog poop but I think I?ll save them and let them loose in Denver on a windy day next time I?m up there. Call me an ass but that?s my form of protest.
Just go through self check out and hit "0" when cashing out. You are paying a "fee" and not purchasing the bags.
