It may come as a surprise, but everything in a store from heat to plastic bags has a cost and the cost is passed on to the shoppers. Stores such as Walmart is simply hiding the charge for bags and potentially making a profit on them. Stores that charge for bags are making the cost more obvious and allowing the customer to opt out (saving money) by using re-usable bags or carrying the unwrapped package out of the store.

Why do grocery stores use plastic bags?

There are several different reasons why shops charge for plastic bags. 1. It does cost shops something to buy the plastic bags that they give to their customers. They make their profit by selling things, not by giving things away. 2. Reusable bags are more environmentally friendly, in that they create less waste. Giving away plastic bags encourages people to use them; charging for plastic bags encourages people to use reusable bags instead. 3.
