You’d think but many companies did it when first announced and are still pushing ahead.
Verizon, Tyson foods, Walmart corporate, Nike, Columbia sportswear, all the major banks, the airlines, tech companies and small to medium woke companies.
You can add Kohl's and Lowe's to your list.
Really Lowe’s? Home Depot implemented free testing on January 4th to comply I’m sure that’s over now.
They are usually less then a mile apart from each other and both are struggling for workers, I guess Home Depot will be getting the fired Lowe’s employees.
I’ve shopped at kohl’s once and hated it. My GF’s friend and husband went there for back to school shopping for their two daughters. They bought over a thousand worth of clothes and outfits, they get everything rung up and ask for bags and they were no longer giving out bags lmao. So they had to carry piles of clothes and shoes to their car. They never went back again either.
The rule in Oregon is that any bag, paper or plastic has to be purchased for 10 cents to discourage usage and help global warming but kohls and other businesses have taken it steps way beyond that and don’t have bags at all or try to charge for any item in plastic.
Some restaurants with to go service also started charging 10 cents for any item in a plastic wrapper or made of plastic. It was to save money or gouge the customer but didn’t last long. No tops on drinks, no straws, no plastic silverware, no condiments, butter or Jelly’s in plastic unless you asked and paid ten cents each lmao. This one place had a sign up saying “it’s the law”. A few weeks later they caved.
Now you have to officially ask for a straw at a restaurant/bar or you can’t have one, that’s a real law. Now most places are converting to paper even fast food. It gets all soggy and makes shit that’s terrible. I bought 10,000 straws from a local restaurant supply store and have a stack in the car.
