So, honestly, I think it's a great idea to replace the plastic bags, however, there are a bunch of cons to this. First, each bag contains MUCH more junk than the normal plastic ones, so, one bag tossed would be like 10ish bags or however many they say they're made of. Second, I think that it's one heck of a PITA to remember to bring your own bags, and I certainly don't want to pay $.15 per bag every time I shop. When I buy, I BUY, I end up with a cart FULL of stuff. I have to wait on the cashiers to move the belts along so that I can fit my stuff. I don't want to have to shop in a different way, this is how I shop, period. But I'd be bitten in the butt if this was put into place here. Honestly, enough so that I would probably stop shopping at Walmart.
