-- Three months after New Jersey banned plastic bags, some store employees say they're seeing an unintended consequence.

"It's just inconvenient when you don't know when you're going to stop to shop," another shopper said."Then you gotta buy more bags, which you don't have you don't need because you have some at home.""I'll just put my groceries straight in the car without any bag," said Jean Rose of Paterson.
