It just seems like a very strange move for a bisiness to ditch  
paper, indeed.

Recently, I've ordered my first ever hundreds of dollars worth  
of grocery bags that feature twine-like handles.  I hate the  
expense, but some customers appreciate it.  The bags are quite  
plain but they average 25cents per.

The reusables (fabric-like) are even more expensive, but I  
don't see people reusing them much in general. They're probaly  
accumulating in people's homes or cars until they get too many  
to bother with and then chuck them in the garbage/landfill.

I don't see too many people bringing along a spare bag of any  
kind for their non-grocery shopping - especially guys.

For men, a side pocket for a folded bag built into a baseball  
cap might encourage having a bag along at most times.  Or,  
bring back the fanny pack for having essentials along.
