It’s kinda weird around here, because the law doesn’t ban paper bags, but all the stores around me stopped carrying them in favor of thicker ‘reusable’ plastic bags.
At least the ‘reusable’ plastic bags fold up and fit nice in my purse, so I can actually reuse them, but I’m pretty sure most people treat them as single use plastic.
Many places aren’t allowed to give disposable ones anymore.
At all?? They don’t even have paper bags?
Yes

The grocery we use keeps boxes by the checkout. Saves them throwing them out, since they get hundreds from suppliers.
Ooh yeah I’ve seen this at a few stores, great practice.

Some, like me, will even shed tears of joy and pride, ask for selfies and autographs.
Yep and that wave of communal fervor will usher in sweeping changes reinstating the noble paper bag

They live in the US
Nope never I’m a lil baby
