Same as here. But they kind of reversed it.. I don't think they charge for plastic now. However, it made a lot of sense to us to just pay the $1/bag for the reusable bags and they have a lifetime guarantee (at our supermarket anyway). If they wear, get ripped, torn, etc.. the cashier just replaces it as she bags the food.
I'm at a point where I will literally turn around and drive home to get our "nice bags" if I forget them because, by comparison, the plastic bags are horrid in terms of strength and convenience.
