Call it a "fee", call it a "tax", or call it a "gift from County to retailers", bottom line is this:
Because "some people" couldn't be responsible with their plastic bag litter, nobody gets "free" plastic bags anymore. (I have some of those nifty trash cans that are designed to fit a plastic shopping bag, great way to reuse the bags, which I will now have to purchase...)
The notion of "force" above is pretty close; I prefer to think of it as "forcing everything to the lowest common denominator".
You cannot legislate common decency into existence; it doesn't work that way.
