Yes, the local walmart doesn’t pay you, but they do collect the bags for recycling.

And the cost thing - that was part of my decision, too.

If a lot of customers get and use the cloth bag, and the store can reduce what it has to pay for the plastic bags, well - the store’s prices will stay down longer.

I love the cloth bags.

I don’t. When I do occasionally bag, such as when I work express lane, or we are short on baggers and I’ll bag a sale myself after totally out… the front end is not set up to handle those bags… they are awkward to fill fast, there is no way to support them (as the plastic bags are supported in those wire frames)… all in all, it’s a logistic thing, but we can’t service the customers as fast as we can using the plastic bags… and once again, there is a bottom line aspect… slow service will translate to pissed off customers… a catch 22 some times.
