No, a store would make money. Right now they give the plastic bags away free. After the ban they would be giving away the more expensive paper bags....
Actually, they aren't giving the bags away free, they raise the prices on groceries to cover things like costs.
The way they could make money though, is they might increase their customer base from those people who still enjoy their plastic bags.
I know some people who say...."Paper Inside of Plastic Please" and as a former grocery store courtesy clerk back in the days.... that used to irritate the heck out of me.
*edit* sorry for the mumbled post
