Prop 67

What the hell is this about. I went to a convenience store today and bought three small candy bars and asked for a little paper bag, the guy at the counter said I have to charge you 5 cents for the bag.:EyePop:

[jaggerbub]

Yup gotta carry your own bags to the grocery store now. I live in LA county and no more plastic bags at any of the stores. Most places charge .15 i think. Sucks!

[DEVOREFLYER]

.10 a bag at Stater Bros. That is unless your an EBT card holder. Got charged .10 a bag today and asked why the person ahead of me wasn't charged and was told by the clerk EBT card holders are exempt from the charge. Oh and the person bought chips, beef jerky and Red Bull. What happened to beans, rice and guberment cheese. Gotta love Komifornia.

i was mad myself it pass by 5 percent, i think a lot of people didnt know what it was and voted whatever on it

[bmachale]

I guess you either did not bother to vote or did not bother to take the time to read the propositions. Either way, ......

Yeah I guess I missed part of it, I was thinking it was just for plastic bags not tiny little paper sacks.

Here is a clue for next time. Anytime an initiative has the word "Children" or "Environment" in it your gonna have your wallet picked. It's not a tax it's a fee. If the Dems could find a way to put a tax or fee on the air you breath it would happen.

no kidding

why are we always voting our rights away?

haven't you figured out that when you let them take things away, you don't get them anymore?

let us, all fisherman and the informed, stop giving up our rights at the polling booths.

they fool you into thinking it's for the good, of something in the world, but it's just good for them...

wake up!


and don't vote for anything where they ask for money

as if we don't give them enough of our cash as it is...

they need to stop wasting what we give them on themselves and use it for us

that's why we give it to them, for us...

not for them~




if they ask you to vote whether to stop making plastic bottles for water...

and you say yes...


you're gonna be doing this...

[fishing_freak]

make sure they dont accidentaly or purposely charge you for bags it was already reported in the news that some stores did that.

[Hoot951]

I got charged 10 cents at Walmart the day after. That went into effect quick.

[Ssortasober]

All the other props won't go into effect until January 1st, the bag initiative went into effect on the next day. I went to staters twice since then, yeah I still forgot the damn bags the second time.

[Ornery Bob]

I float tube the salt water somewhere in So Cal every weekend. I'm at water level and I've yet to go out and not end up running into a ******* plastic bag or two. I end up throwing them in the back and I put them in my trash at home. I think the damn things should be banned entirely.

That is my thinking.

If people actually disposed of their plastic bags accordingly, we wouldn't be in this dilemma, because I could attest to the same thing. I couldn't cast in our surf without dragging in a plastic bag half the time.....

But let's focus our blame to others.

I couldn't figure out how charging $.10, but still giving you and even larger and thicker "plastic" bag helps the environment???
It's no different than at work where I can't run a 1500 Kw generator more than 8 hours a day, but I can run (10) 150 Kw generators around the clock provided I pay for the $2800 per year SCAQMD permits.
You can still pollute you just have to pay into the California coffers.
This is the stupid side of the liberal agenda.

I think the point is that these bags are supposed to be 'reusable' so that all of them don't end up in Long Beach Harbor, and the fact you paid 10 cents makes u re-use the one you paid for.

Regardless, we're now paying for the people who can't throw trash in the trash bin. Next time you see a litter bug, remind them of this.

[parkermann2]

But half the people don't give a crap about 10 cents a bag and are still gonna treat them like they did the old bags

And to re-iterate, that's why the 10 cent charge exists.

At least now they're getting penalized 10 cents every time they get a bag and toss it. Before, they were littering for free. At least now there is some type of negative reinforcement to prevent them from pretending they live in a third world nation.

In the interim, I'll keep reusing the three dozen canvas bags that I got for free when I go to the grocery store. I still can't believe people in this day in age still rely on plastic bags. It's almost like the people who bust out their checkbook to pay for groceries. I mean, the plastic bags were great back in the day when you wanted to clean up your dog's mess (yes, there are people who actually clean up after their pet), but nowadays? They belong in the Smithsonian. (Next to the check writing people)

My point was why was I charged 5 cents for a tiny little paper sack, it was a mom and pop type of store it just kinda shocked me. Was at Rite Aid today to buy few small things and they still use those thin plastic bags so far. Yes I hate them too the wind blows them all over the place.
