Wal-Mart to stop using plastic bags?

I was shopping at my local Wal-Mart and heard some of the employees talking about how pretty soon Wal-Mart will be requiring their customers to bring their own bags!  I wonder how well the customers are going to be taking that!  Personally, I’m glad – I have several canvas shopping tote bags that I bought a long time ago that I would like to use for my weekly groceries.  Even though I bring most of my empty Wal-Mart shopping bags back to the Wal-Mart for recycling, I really would prefer to not have to deal with them.  Although they DO make good little trash can liners!

    That will never happen Wal-mart will always provide bags or some sort to all its customers.

    Hopefully the employees will have a better attitude towards the use of tote bags. I get nasty looks and sighs everytime I use the totes THEY sold to me.

    I agree with Mary – whenever I bring my own canvas bags I get dirty looks. Recently one of the cashiers refused to use them, telling me I had to load them myself! So I did, but I did it so slowly it held up the line big time!
