Free Or Fee?

The city has dropped the mandatory bag ‘tax’ yet some stores are still charging customers a nickel apiece.

All these stores maintain that they introduced the five cent charge as a sustainability initiative that happened to coincide with the city’s introduction of the largely despised fee.

Now that the fee is no longer mandatory, will you change your shopping habits to avoid those stores who continue to nickel (but not dime) their customers?

Or have you already made the switch to reusable bags, thereby negating the need to boycott any retailer?
