The new plastic bag ban has more side effects

[glenn/dallas]

I went to two stores I go to all the time. First was my local liquor store. Got my bottle of vodka. Went to the counter paid, and the clerk asked me if I needed a bag, In the past they had ALWAYS put my purchase in a paper bag. I looked down on the counter saw that they had a new style paper bag. The clerk saw me looking at them and told me 'its 10 cents a bag now.

Next at the Auto Supply store I picked up 4 quorts of mortor oil. Kind of hard for me to handle this load to the front check-out from a stroke a few years ago that won't let me get a tight grip on things with my left hand. At the counter I paid, the clerk pushed the four containers towards me. Surprised, I asked for a bag Please. He quickly told me they stoppld using bags at all locations.

Thanks to Dallas Councilman Dwaine Caraway for helping us out so much.

Yet fast food places are exempt, what do I see on the fences, fast food bags.

..and Braum's is charging for a PAPER bag...a paper bag that is reusable. At least at our house the Braum's bags are used several times.

It seems like Braum's is taking advantage. Phooey!
