I spoke to a manager today at Colony Publix about the phasing out of plastic bags. This is what was said........

I questioned why some Publix stores are not aware of the phasing out of plastic bags. I was told that Colony Publix is the busiest store in the area so they receive information before the other stores.

I was told Publix, as a company, would like to completely phase out plastic bags. However, the company will be supplying less bags to the stores and will be charging the customers for the plastic bags. The amount to be charged for the plastic bags is unknown at this time and when this will be implemented is also unknown.
