They already are in some jurisdictions.

It doesn't actually cost them much per item, but in aggregate they'll foist the cost onto consumers where they are allowed.

Is this fee widespread and becoming moreso, or is it merely buried in the taxes for five counties out of five hundred thousand? Is it a financial risk to Amazon that consumers would rebel against being charged fees per bag/box?
