Giant Tiger: Using a carrot, not a stick on conservation

I was buying some groceries at Giant Tiger the other night and used a reusable bag.  I was pleased to find out that I got a small discount for using a green bag.  I think this is a far better way to encourage reusable bag use than charging for plastic bags. 

However, I do know that I am more willing to carry items in my hands when a store is charging for plastic, so I think both techniques work.
