No guilt here as I reuse those plastic bags as trash bags to line the trash cans, so I save on trash bags.
Me too, Ax. Other uses also.

Just part of the process of turning from red to blue.

Plastic water bottles too.
Plastic bags are choking the environment. I suspect humans can survive this or pay for the convenience. Hopefully 5 cents is enough to mitigate the waste and damage.
A plastic bag has a half life shorter than a fruit fly, and likely on average provide a few seconds of convenience.
We suck if this a hard issue.

They did this in the UK in 2015. The world didn't end. People use re-usable bags a lot more now.
I'm sure some people got very over-excited about it, and then forgot to be outraged after a couple of weeks.
I was only joking

You know its a slippery slope, first they take away your plastic bags and you know its just a cynical attempt to chip away at your liberty.

Didn't I see a report a few months ago saying that the reusable bags are quite bacteria-laden?
