The bag ban does not just affect Corvallis but all the little out lying communities such as Alsea, Philomath, Wren and Blodgett. People living on the coast make their monthly trip into Corvallis for groceries at Winco. The people of these communities are disgusted, to say the least, in having to remember bags on top of their grocery and things to "remember lists" or put out 6 cents a bag when they "forget them" on top of the cost of gas to shop in Corvallis.
