Patch Letter: 10 Cent Con

Patch reader and local Jess Brown sent us this letter to Ralphs grocery store. Brown thinks the paper bag charge is a scam and has a questions for the market chain.

Dear Ralphs, 

How come you force me to use a paper bag for my groceries and charge me for it?

You tell me that it's a law in Los Angeles now.

Maybe if I bought some of your trash bags or tall kitchen bags or monster Ziploc bags and bagged my own groceries, then would you fight me for it?

That wouldn't be green of me would it?
