At all?? They don't even have paper bags?
Yes
Catch me in line breaking down the boxes of the things I bought so I can construct a carrying device
The grocery we use keeps boxes by the checkout. Saves them throwing them out, since they get hundreds from suppliers.

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.
