But a plan to make the workday more difficult for those just doing their jobs — from positions that are powerless — is a plan that if carried out would be condescending, elitist, and just plain wrong.
Maybe, but it would get the point across in a hurry. The workers are paid by the hour, so it really doesn't matter WHAT work they are doing. But the lost revenue will impact the store and hopefully the policymakers. I'm not against using cloth bags, I'm just opposed to having some entity shove them down my throat. That goes for Publix, the government, the radical left and the religious right.

PS. I've been using reusable bags for several years, but when something is wet/leaky I have them put it in plastic, same is true if I forget my bags. This isn't about what they want to do, it's about how they are going to do it.
