I don’t get it.
If I go to the store, I take my own bags. That way, I’m not wasting plastic. However if, I’m a bit too slow in pointing out that I have my own bag, they might put it in a bag first.
And what happens if this occurs?
They take the items out of the plastic bag, then proceed to throw that bag away!!
Who Needs Gauge?! 
I know, it’s baffling! We’re lucky that in Toronto they recently passed a law that stores need to charge for plastic bags. This is great for those of us who bring our own bags because cashiers are finally asking first!

That is annoying…When I remember to bring them, I put them on the belt first, less fuss and muss..(actually my giant has the scan gun and I love scanning and bagging all my stuff!) Then I just pay and go! 🙂
Oh well, changes in society require baby steps…

How about when they put it into a plastic bag, then when they realize you’ve got your own bag, they just plop the plastic-bagged item into your reusable bag. Seriously, people!

Sometimes they just don’t get it. Even at the co-op, they will sometimes still use a small plastic bag. Okay, it is to put a laundry product or something frozen in to give it a little bit extra protection.
