Yea, the waste is so overwhelming, and I hate it.
I go to a local small grocery store regularly for bananas, milk, cheese, and a few other items. The checkers are drilled to put everything into a paper bag. I always tell them I don't need a bag for a bunch of bananas and a loaf of bread. The new employees are drilled over and over to put everything in a bag. I tell them it is OK, I don't need a bag. They get fear in their eyes knowing if the manager sees a customer with no bag they will get in trouble. I tell them the manager knows me, and don't worry. When I do have enough stuff to need a paper bag, I use them. At home, we keep the old bags in a box, and when that gets full, we take them to a place that uses them in their charity. They have a large plastic bin that is waterproof, so we can dump them off when the parking lot is empty because they are closed.
