Home Depot in Mt. Pleasant is like this too- they sometimes have paper bags but most of the time they don't. The other day I bought something like $50 worth of items that were all in the $0.50 to $2.00 range- lots of little things. No bags. I had to juggle all of it out to the car, because I was counting on them having bags.
Paper vs plastic, I don't care. But plastic vs. no bags, I very much care.

I think this getting to the new normal. We are all used to the vendor giving us bags, but the shift is really to one of personal responsibility for your own bags. Once we all accept that its on us if we want bags, there is never a problem. I have 5 bags in my car. I have forgotten them once or twice and had to go back out and get them. Its just going to take time for everyone to change the way they do things. I prefer it. My bags, are all plastic. I can use them if I choose over and over. Its all on me and my complete choice.
