actually, the "needy" comment is spot on.

You are confusing the 5 cents credit (for bringing a reusable bag) with the 5 cent charge PER plastic bag. A trip to grocery store could bring in a 25 cent charge.

Look, I bring a bag when I can. Sometimes I forget. Sometimes it gets filled up. Why do we nickle and dime the poor (i.e. 10% tax on MickyD, $1 ATM fees, etc). Sure, if you've middle class a quarter doesn't mean much. When you are scrounging around for every penny, that 25 cents really annoys.

My $5 resuable bags will never make my investment back. I bought them so they are easier to carry groceries. I don't see why we are penalizing poor people for plastic bags in anacostia. well, i guess rich people know better....
