Literally microtransactions.

Next you'll be paying a small fee to use shopping carts

Technically that's been around for a while, but only in the "get your quarter back" format

I agree on the bag thing though, way too crazy

Frankly I'm stunned more grocery chains didn't adopt the Aldi way of requiring a quarter deposit to use a shopping cart.

Here in Canada you can buy reusable bags to avoid the plastic bag fee. Supposed to be there to help reduce bag waste

Puerto Rico. Not New Jersey, yet.

I hope it spreads, though. Such waste and pollution.

California is the only one that has a ban in place and the "fee" is the tax the state requires for bags, not something the store is charging.

Unless some other states has stores charging for bags now but I assume this is just about California.

Just use reusable bags, it's the best way to do it. I usually have them put the groceries back into the cart then load my bags when I get to the car.

Pro-tip, Ikea sells reusable bags that are like twice as big as the ones you usually get and they're cheap as hell. Just two of them is usually enough to bring in entire grocery load in one trip.
