No, silly, they're not charging customers for not giving them something. They're providing the opportunity to save money for just a $1 fee up front! :)
Really, I love the program. I picked up a tag the night they were put on display at the Middlesex/Fellsway CVS and I've gotten at least 5 or 6 dollars credit for not using a bag. I'm way more likely to remember my bag when I know I'm getting a quarter for it than when a nickel is being knocked off my tab (if the cashier remembers or knows how to do that *cough*target*cough*).
