Actually, here in Spain they banned giving bags away for free, with used to be
the norm. In the old days, when you purchased something, you could ask for a bag
and they would give you one at no cost.

The practice was banned and bags were forced to come with a price tag. That an
an increase of price from bag manufacturers due to inflation made retailers
start happily overcharging for bags. I used to keep giving the bags away for
free because I think it is kind of stupid to ask for 10 extra cents after
somebody places an order worth 80 bucks, but then I realized something:

My customers are the people who voted this crap into a rule.

That is right, the population placed this rule in place, so fuck them and let
them pay the bags in full. Now people only gets a free bag from me if they place
an outrageous order.

I think less than half the customers come with their own bags.
