Jan. 12, 2010

Delta is raising fees for checked bags. $23 for the first bag, $32 for the second. And $85 if it wants an aisle.


Starbucks just unveiled lower-calorie drinks and snacks today. The skinny cinnamon dulce latte, for example, is just 90 calories. Per sip.



Walmart has started charging customers $.15 per plastic bag. Customers are outraged. Employees are, too. They’re furious that the little plastic bags are actually better compensated than they are.


You pay $.50 for larger bags. Or the equivalent of 18 rolls of toilet paper.


The move is meant to urge customers to reduce their carbon footprint. If Walmart wants to reduce its carbon footprint, maybe the place to start is with its 260,000 square-foot actual footprint.
