If they were taxing the end user, I could agree with you ... but they are not. If you bring re-usable bags to the grocery store, you will be paying the same price as if you were to use their free plastic bags.

But even so, the use of a plastic bag is not a behavior that needs to be punished. It is the reuse/recycling of a plastic bag that should be rewarded.
