There's no doubt that reusable bags need to be monitored for cleanliness....

Plastic grocery bags
- They've charged for grocery bags here for a number of years now. (Quebec)
  - Not uncommon...
    - That's the good part of .25c a piece
      - It's 5 cents here and NOBODY buys them. Everyone brings re-usable cloth bags for groceries. The nickle is a charge.
- It's been that way for a few years in Ontario
  - boat show bags
  - I wish I was the one to do this

  - No-brainer is right. Most people are taught how to handle food safely.
    - And how to do laundry.

    - What's this bullsh*t about washing the damn bags?
      - I use cloth bags and launder them from time to time if there is leakage of say, meat juices. That's all.
