A tip for avoiding pesky plastic bags:
Customers in my store sometimes dislike getting plastic bags because they don't degrade for hundreds of years and are harmful to the environment.
They will either reuse bags and stuff as much as possible in one, or bring in their own paper or canvas tote bags.
I think canvas totes are great because they're very strong and you can actually hold more in them than a flimsy wasteful plastic one!

Years ago I worked for a music shop that were ahead of their time on this front. They were a little family business and they still used more paperbags than plastic - they had them in 2 sizes - vinyl single (also for CDs and small purchases elsewhere in the shop) and for sheet music. They then had plastic carriers for albums, but they used more paper than anything else, and the larger ones were brown, so didn't even used bleached paper! I'm not sure what they use now, I can only hope they've not gone plastic because of supposed cost savings.
