I agree. Rather than a gradual development so that folks can get use to the changes, the "Seattle powers that be" forced this "do the right thing according to my logic or else I am going to have a mental breakdown" PW passive aggressive behavior. I am clueless as to why it has to be that way it is beyond my American cultural purview.
I would probably tack on the canvas bags as an option so that folk remember to use them. The other issue is folks are made to forget everything when at the stoh.
And the big Costco type stohs will get more grocery shopping unless we are talking niche markets that places like QFC (Kroger) cannot really compete at least in Washington--'cuz I know in Allen, TX near Dallas there is a Super Kroger and Super Targets abound...
