Gary at Gary's Liquors on VFW Parkway in West Roxbury reports:
- reduced plastic bag use by 100%
- Paper bag use was reduced by 78%
- 99.8% of the people were understanding and only a few were upset.

- I was truly shocked and encouraged as to how easy people seemed to accept it. Congratulations on this first step to help save the planet.
