This change comes simultaneously with the retailer’s new incentive to encourage customers to use reusable bags while shopping in their stores.
Giant Eagle is offering loyalty reward perks for shoppers who use at least one reusable bag while checking out.
Customers must be enrolled in either the myPerks or fuelperks+ loyalty program to earn these reward perks, the retailer stated. “While paper bags are biodegradable and recyclable, they still have high environmental costs related to water and energy use,” Giant Eagle stated. “Nevertheless, Giant Eagle realizes that they are an important convenience for some customers and that eliminating the five-cent charge for paper bags provides an added value at a time when many families are looking for ways to save.Since then, they have removed them all GetGo locations and supermarkets in numerous cities.
