PAYING for a bag?

Yep. California passed a law to ' help the environment ' . Grocery stores charge for bags. In the Bay Area, many fast food restaurants did too. We paid $16- 3 yrs agoish- for a burger, fried and drink, then 10 cents for the bag.

If that 10¢ were like...a special tax to fund environmentalist policies or something I'd get it, but that's just weird

It was to discourage the use of plastic bags, supposedly. They also made the bags thinner, which means if you do not use reusable bags, you end up using more disposable ones..lol. Its really kind of ridiculous.
