The Vons and Smart and Final I go to lets you bring your own bags. You just have to bag your own groceries. They will do it, if you ask for new bags. Maybe that will now change like everything else.

If you lived in San Francisco you'd be arrested for that. And the released 5 mins later.

Screw that, I order from Instacart on the $9 a month plan. Never step foot into a market and get all the bags for free. I have so many of them, I use them as trash bags. Can’t beat it!

That’s right. If you are white with a home, they just fine you.

Stater Bros stops you at the door - no reusable bags inside the store. They also sanitize carts before handing them to you.
