According to the U.N., over 60 countries have taken steps to reduce single-use plastic bags, including Australia. As of July 1st, most of Australia has a law in place banning single-use plastic bags, with major retailers like Woolworths and Coles voluntarily removing the bags from their stores nationwide.

Change can be difficult, but some customers in Australia weren’t too pleased with the new policies and laws. In what is being called “bag rage,” Australian consumers are taking their frustrations out on frontline employees. One shopper in Western Australia went so far as to choke a Woolworths employee.
