Today I traveled to Whole Foods in the Kentlands and joyfully listened to these two families gripe about the Montgomery County bag tax:
1) As I entered, a family was exiting and the dad was going over the sales receipt very carefully. He commented (about the bag tax) - they added it for each bag and then took it away for each bag we brought.
Q: Aren't we supposed to get credit for using recyclable bags not just come out even?
2) As I was checking out, the elderly couple in front of me was getting the "issue" explained to them by the cashier - for the third time. Finally, the woman said "well, we'll just have to start shopping outside Montgomery County."
A: That's not the response Montgomery County officials are expecting. We have a lot of retired folks in our area and they will take their non-recyclable bags elsewhere.
A: Folks, complain directly to the Montgomery County Council. If we just complain to each other, they won't repeal it. County.Council@montgomerycountymd.gov
