Yeah, that was my thought as well. I guess it could be that if one shops at CVS a lot, the discounts will eventually exceed the 99 cents paid for the tag. And for some people it will actually encourage that behavior so that they actually increase their shopping at CVS--"well, I have this tag that gives me even more discounts, so I may as well take advantage of it."
Also, sales of tags may give them something to point at as an indicator of how many customers are interested in bag re-use (though giving a simple discount each time someone shops without a bag, as some stores do, would give them that data as well.)
