"tons of disposable plastic bags, handed out like sweetie, even for things like 1 gallon drinks bottles WITH THEIR OWN HANDLE"
And generally everything is double-bagged. Because the bags have been made thinner to save waste and cost. So they tear easily. So you have to use two, for a net increase in waste.
Till clerks look at me like I'm insane when I tell them I don't need a bag to carry my gallon of milk (has a handle) and bag of cat food (it's a single item) the 20 meters to my car. "are you sure?"
