Grandma's House

I remember when the only choice you had in a checkout line was paper. Then the plastic bags came out, supposedly to cut down on the use of paper and thereby save some trees. Now, San Francisco is considering putting a 17-cent tax on your grocery bill for each plastic sack you get. This is to encourage people to use paper sacks. But they are also considering taxing the paper bags at a lower rate, just to keep things fair. Anything to get your money.
