A sturdy reusable bag takes as much plastic to produce as 40
expendable
bags.
I am not sure most people uses reusable bags for long enough to break
even. Some people does but I don't think most do.
It seems to me that most people who use reusable bags buy them somewhere
else, nd the ones I usually see people using aren't plastic, but are made
of fabric some kind.
In the first sentence, re: plastic bags, he is talking specifically to me about the "reusable" plastic bags that markets in Southern CA sell at the checkout. They are slighly larger and thicker than the disposable bags, and are not as sturdy looking as the ones you are refering to (i.e. the ones that people who really care about the environment are going to be using).
So... do you provide plastic bags for walk-in customers? What
are other shops in Spain providing wrt bags?
It is illegal in Spain to give carry-away bags for free. I have mines concealedand if some customer asks for one I pull it out and give it to him for free.
Most people is expending well above 50 bucks per order and I think billing 5 cents when somebody is spending 75 bucks is very lame.

They probably do the same with bags.

All bags? ..or just plastic ones?

Hello pF!
Not many people knew that blank CD-Rs had a kickback to
the recording industry. Every single one. They *assumed*
that CD-Rs would be used for pirating music, and so
lobbied the government to include a built-in tariff,
regardless of what you used them for. The manufacturer
pays the government and bakes the charge into the media.
That tarrif was made widely known.
I just have to wonder how the gov't can force a retailer to
charge for the use of a bag.
so it's illegal to give plastic bags for free, but does the money charged goHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If they're shrewd they build it into the cost of the bag.
I doubt they do.
But, I'm not sure if it goes that far. The "fee" is really just a deterrentIt doesn't. People uses plastic bags as if there was no tomorrow anyway. THey just get to pay moar.

No, it doesn't get funneled into any recycling program.
THey started banning free plastic bags. I don't know if they have borged paperbags in because, frankly, I don't care.
You can be as careful as you want not to break the law, then one day you get fined for some stupid detail you didn't even know was a legal requerinment.
When you have ten thousand silly laws, you destroy any respect for law.
There is no way I am gonna get my retirement pension out of the Spanish welfaresystem, so excuse me if I fail to comply with their nonsense.
