Customers annoyed over Walmart’s automatic fee and it’s costing more at every visit

WALMART shoppers in the Evergreen state have to pay for bags at checkout after a recent plastic ban.

Locations in Washington had to get rid of free, single-use plastic bags by April 18.

Washington Walmarts will no longer offer single-use plastic bags in stores, but rather reusable bags and containers for sale at checkout.

Under the law, businesses can charge 8 cents for paper or thick, reusable plastic bags.

The charge will be added to both in-store and pick-up orders.

Walmart did say that it will still use paper bags on delivery orders – for now.

Fees are optional for compostable bags.

However, the store will still have to use paper and single-use bags to prevent food contamination or as required by law.

“Eliminating single-use bags is part of our effort to reduce waste at our stores and help keep Washington communities and ecosystems clean,” Jane Ewing, senior vice president of Walmart Sustainability said.

“Our Washington customers want to be engaged on this journey, and Walmart is committed to making the sustainable choice convenient and accessible every day.”
