I went to the grocery store here in Fronteras Guatemala and forgot that I bring bags with me to put the stuff in.

lo siento,,, necisito bolsas por-favor (or however it's spelled),,, quando?,,, cinco! .15 Quetzale's or about 12 cents U.S. each.

Time to start doing that in the U.S. They're banning them in Southern California but why not just charge .25c each and giving 75% to the local government instead. They say they need money and if you bring your own bags you don't pay.

Sounds like a good way for the gov. to get more money without more taxes.

Just a thought.
