Two years ago I worked at one of the first Superstores to get rid of plastic bags in Canada, and just thinking of some of the idiotic reactions we got makes me sick of this debate. No well-adjusted person freaks out at something as trivial as whether or not they receive plastic bags for free at the grocery.
"No bags!? I'm going to Sobey's!"
You'd think people would figure a high schooler working for minimum wage who didn't have anything whatsoever to do with the decision wouldn't be the person to whine to, but apparently not.
