I didn't see any of the supermarkets using brown paper bags when I was over there a few weeks ago. Though I do regret not taking advantage of all the free plastic bags I could have brought back from Walmart while I had the chance, would have kept me in free bags for quite some time.

The check outs where all similar to this:-

No restrictions on how many bags you took, no guilt passed on to customers about killing the World, just get on and enjoy your shopping.

Oh, and 'Have a nice day, y'all come back soon'.
