Ever been to a grocery store that forced you to buy bags to take your stuff home? More specifically, ever been back to that store?
It just doesn't work (for us Americans at least).

It worked fine, except that their bread would often start to grow mold by the time we were maybe two-thirds through a loaf (which doesn't seem to happen with bread from other stores). We'd probably still go there for other things, except that we always need bread and going to two separate stores is annoying.
They have build a half cozen in my area in the past few years so I figure they cannot be doing that poorly...
As someone else mentioned: They also make you pay a $.25 deposit to use a shopping cart, don't take credit cards, and don't offer name-brand anything.
The market will eventually sort this out, but not before it is far to later.
Recently I have encouraged to know that many people pay the green electricity surcharge, which means you are subsidizing more green sources of power being integrated into the grid, I'd assumed that they would have a really low uptake on that kind of thing.
