“BAGS ARE FIVE CENTS!?” (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by PossibleWishbone1
Yes, Karen. Bags are 5 cents.

You just paid for almost $10 in coffee and you’re complaining about 5 funky ass cents? Not even five dollars, but five cents....

Wait are you talking about the paper bags? I just came back from the corona leave and I'm not up to date on everything. Is it nation-wide or only some locations?

It’s probably because I live in New York but yes, we recently passed a law in March (for the whole tri-state area, actually) and now bags are five cents. Even at our local drug stores. I had to walk with my lady products in hand because I forgot to bring a re-usable bag lol

Omg, I’m so sorry! People are so calm with paying $5 for a cup of coffee but DRAW THE LINE at paying five cents for a bag they’re going to throw away.

We charge for bags? Since when?

I live in the tri-state area and we recently passed a law that bags are now five cents.

Pishaw. They're ten cents in the Bay Area.

...Though that tax has been suspended during Covid as it's been deemed unsafe for workers to handle reusable bags.

Woah, I actually didn’t realize that. Kudos to the Bay Area for the safety measures.
