Thanks! It's the same thing here. Plastic bags are like a status or honor or something weird like that. People feel disrespected if a shop keeper doesn't give them a plastic bag even if they only have one thing that they're going to consume right away. It's like the act of throwing the bag on the ground is a sign of privilege or something. So bizarre. They're everywhere, and we're right on the ocean with loads of sea turtles. I just hate it. Anyway, most of the shop keepers here are from China, and they're pretty thrifty, so they love me for bringing my own bags. Otherwise it's a bit of an uphill battle here.
