I do like the "reward" idea though...maybe open the store 1/2 hour early for all those with cloth bags? Pick out one item on a selected rack for every (say) $40 that you spend shopping that trip? Something along those lines.
Keep the profit margin by taking up some % of the prices by 3% and keeping the reward policy. Also I agree that cloth shopping bags can be easily washed regularly.
