Can I Bring a Backback?

How about charging the store instead--give the baggers an incentive not to put one apple in each bag.

The store already pays for the bags once, and I'm not understanding why there's a market failure here that needs state intervention. Presumably stores don't want to charge by the bag, since the costs are small and doing so might prompt consumers to buy less. And there are the delays at the register, slowing down the shopper's transaction.
