About 5 decades ago when those produce plastic bags first came out I was in the grocery store trying to get some veggies. My fingers just weren’t getting the bag open. A young gal nearby saw me fumbling, never said a word, took the bag away from me, popped it open and gave it back. She left quicker than I could say “thank you.” That’s been my method ever since. Wait for a gal to get close and ask for help. My fingers still aren’t any good at bag opening.
Pro Tip: Most stores have an automatic sprayer that wets down the produce periodically. Just touch one of the wet veggies to get a little moisture on your fingers and voila! Bags open easily.
Alternate version: Look for asparagus sitting in water.
Desperate version: Go to the frozen food section and touch the condensed water on the inside of door - or almost anything in the case.
Of course, not as fun as the young gal!

It’s because your fingers are too dry. Moisten them and, voilà, the bag will open.
