I don't know about other countries, but it was our generation that had
the lapse in using shopping bags - the rest of the saga refers to things
I remember from when I was younger - many until I was in my 20s and in
those days everyone used a shopping bag - plastic carriers weren't used
in such profusion until the supermarkets took over from the smaller
specialist shops.
But then, perhaps I could be described as "older" these days, just not
old enough to be "old" yet!

In the line at the store, the cashier told the older woman that she should
bring her own grocery bag because plastic bags weren't good for the
environment. The woman apologized to him and explained, "We didn't have the
'green thing' back in my day."
