Bag Fees Popping Up at Some Fast Food Drive-Thrus

People in Pittsburgh have been complaining about a 10-cent bag fee.

Fast-food customers are being surprised by bag fees at the drive thru. People in Pittsburgh have been complaining about a 10-cent bag fee that has started showing up on receipts, even when ordering at a drive-thru. The perk of a fast-food drive-thru is convenience but, it’s not so convenient to be handed your food, loose, without a bag. A lot of cities have done this: no more single plastic bags at stores, so you can either bring your own bags, or pay a fee. In grocery stores, you can usually bring your own reusable bags. But, it’s very unlikely a restaurant would take people’s potentially dirty reusable bags inside to pack their food. and will this make drive-drive-thru lines longer…cashiers individually give out each item, while waiting for drivers to find a place in their car to set it down.
