But...it's not the retailers, it's a state law that was passed in CA by the
nitwit lawmakers in Sacramento. I don't mind the fact that the retailers get
to keep the money instead of the state for a change either. I have never
seen a small bag like the one you describe, here they are fairly good size
and strong plastic. I don't always remember to take them in, but am getting
better with it. I certainly don't blame the retailer when I do forget.
