Mine live in the car. The problem is, there's nowhere in the cart (buggy) to put them. They need a pocket for those bags so they're accessible when they are needed. If you throw them in the bottom of the cart, all the stuff is on top of them and the bagger can't get to them to start bagging the stuff. They would have my stuff all bagged in plastic by the time we could get to the reusable ones.
As I said, if they ban them, then I'll end up buying plastic bags to line the trash cans so what's the difference? I'll use the same number of them either way.
I can also see it in nicer climates, but paper bags are a nightmare when it is raining or snowing or hot and humid. Back in the day, before plastic, they'd be so wet from humidity they were useless. The cloth resusable are better in humidity but when it's raining or snowing, you can't close the top.
I'm ok with moving toward reusable. I like that they hold more and are more sturdy. They need to make them so they close at the top (velcro maybe?) and they need a place in the buggy to put them. A little pocket toward the end by the bagger would be great.
ETA: And the insulated ones need to be WAY bigger. The ones they sell here in the stores only fit one or two things in them. Pain in the neck to have 15 of those things.
And no, I don't think this is the kind of thing that should be legislated.
