[Eco] Take the BYOB Pledge, Score a Bike and a Glacier

[Maria P]

I haven't had any trouble with it.  I roll up the bags & put them in a
smaller canvas bag which I also stick my keys, phone & wallet in.  I was
concerned the first time I did it at Wal-mart, but no worries!  :)  I enjoy
breaking in cashiers new to the concept...what an opportunity for
discussion!  It always amazes them how much stuff those bags will hold!
