Under the measure to take effect in 2026, shoppers will still be able to purchase bags made of thicker plastic that purportedly makes them reusable and recyclable
The best places keep a pile of all of their cardboard boxes by the registers, so you can grab one or two or ten depending on how much you’re buying. I only get paper bags if they’re out of boxes or I need more trash bags.
As long as it also requires them to carry paper bags that’s perfect
In France they didn’t always have bags available, and if they did they were usually for sale and were reusable. Everyone just brought their own bags.
In my country (Jamaica) you either have to beg to use their old boxes from inventory or just carry it all out by hand if you forget your bags.
Canada works pretty well without them. If you forget your bags though you have to buy more.
I keep several reusable bags and I’ve almost never had to use the paper ones. The few times I have, the bags fell apart halfway home lol.

As long as you don’t expect them to be free
If they don’t just tell them you need help to your car.
