A Point for the SAQ (ok 2points)

Well, first if you are reading this today (September 1, 2008) happy Labour Day.
As I told you a few blogs ago as of today the SAQ was going to start charging for the plastic bags they have.
Imagine my surprise today (yes they were open) when I was given a fabric/canvas bag for my purchases.
The bag is divided into four and so will accommodate four bottles.
The SAQ is spot on with this idea and should be padded on the back.
Too many places have ideas but the SAQ has supported their idea with a solution.
I suspect in the new future a charge for plastic bags will be applied (five, ten & fifteen cents) in the mean time right on SAQ !!

The Quebec liquor board is going to start charging for bags as of tomorrow. The extra fee will cost you from five to fifteen cents depending on the size bag you need..

The SAQ is hoping to do away with single use paper and plastic bags by January 2009 and says the move will reduce the number of bags used in Quebec by about 80 million annually.)
