the customer bags their own groceries. When I have been in Arizona where the cashier does the bagging, they seem to use many more bags than most oeople do when bagging their own groceries. I have also noticed that many people use paper instead of plastic. Of course the best choice is reusable bags. Our recycler also accepts plastic bags curbside.
