Has anyone else noticed that Zellers is now charging 5 cents per plastic bag here in BC or is it just my specific Zellers?

Also, effective March 8th T&T Supermarkets in BC will start charging 0.02¢ each for plastic bags.

Maybe it's all Zellers that are now implementing this then... I was very surprised too, since I hadn't heard anything about it (I must have missed the notice about this).
I wouldn't even have known if the guy in front of me hadn't asked for a bag for his box of dishes that he bought and then she said that a bag would cost 5 cents. And then with me she was just piling my items in a stack for me to carry when I said I'll be needing a bag... So I'm sure they wouldn't just charge you for a bag without asking first (you'd hope anyway
)

They will just charge you. The man in front of me was asked if he wanted a bag, he said yes, thenhe asked why she just charged him for it and she said she was only supposed to ask if he wanted a bag and not ask if he wants to purchase one. They started arguing, I walked away.

They are also charging for bags here in North Bay, knew it wouldn`t be long before they started. I wonder how long till Walmart will start charging for bags.

It's the way of things to come! I have a cute little bag holder that I carry in my purse that one of my friends gave me. It holds 3 bags. Also carry some in the car, etc. Seems like a lot of places charge now!
When we were in Louisiana last month, I was shocked that NO ONE was using reusable bags!
I was telling my mom about it when I got back, and she said when they were in the UK in the early 90s everyone was doing the reusable bag thing. We're just catching up!
