Summary
A Los Angeles McDonald’s customer, Malon Sanaii, refused to pay a 10-cent bag fee and instead took a tray from the restaurant. She recorded herself walking out with the tray, saying “McDonald’s really playing. Why are they talking about 10 cents for a bag? OK, so no, you’re gonna have to pay for a new tray.” Some viewers commended her actions, while others were surprised to learn that McDonald’s was charging for bags. The charge is actually a result of local ordinances aimed at reducing single-use materials.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
McDonald’s customers in some areas are being charged for paper bags, with fees ranging from 10 cents to unknown amounts. The charge is not issued by McDonald’s, but rather by local governments trying to reduce waste. Some customers, like Malon Sanaii, are taking matters into their own hands by refusing to pay the fee and taking trays instead.
The lifestyle enters the chat, where customers are expected to pay for bags, but not for trays.
It’s just another day in the world of consumerism, where a 10-cent bag fee can spark a social media frenzy.
