    Or maybe you should hire a lawyer to fight it.

    Oh wait, never mind.

    Jesus.

    By the end of that fight there would be:

    *a class action suit
    *each person who ever bought a bag getting back .01
    *the lawyers getting $11,500,000
    *the bag fee would be changed to include paper bags
    *new fee .10

    As usual, I'll steer clear of the lawyers unless I need to make them feel needed.

    If $0.05 is too high a barrier for entry to suffocate yourself with a plastic bag mid-jerk, you should stop being poor.

    Toppy makes million dollar deals, but yeah. It's five fucking cents. It's like crying that apples are five cents more per pound.

    seattle.gov/council/obrien/bagban/

    It's obvious that there are some plastic bags here whose intent is to disrupt and eff up this environment before it can get started. Please have the mods ban those bags pronto.

    I've been the mod of my own hobby grocery store for years. If you don't ban those bags quickly and often, this store will get out of hand.

    The fact I am paying attention to five fucking cents is the reason I make million dollar deals.

    It's all in the details.

    People who get to go lunches at deli's, it is $25 a year. That's not a lot to one person. You add that up to 10,000 people or 1% of the guesstimated population I assume eats lunch from a deli on a daily basis. And that is a $250,000 tax being levied by the city of Dallas ... that is just a lunch tax.

    Now add in CVS, Walmart, etc .... and the city is extracting a lot of disposable income from it's citizens.

    But ... it's only .05 ...
