I've found it's pretty universal and yet perplexing that people
can't remember to bring the bags in. One store where I shop
occasionally even gives you 3 cents back for every one you use.

It's all good. You can pack a ton of stuff in those things. I do
put meat into a plastic bag. I recycle the plastic bags I use
by bringing them back to the store bin or using them around the
house. Emptying the vacuum cleaner, for instance.
