Yes I remember "paper or plastic?" and all the different size paper grocery bags and the ice cream bags. Hell,I even remember Green Stamps!

Me too. And the produce guy would weigh your paper sack of tomatoes or whatever and write the price on the bag with a wax pencil.

And ahh yes, the ice cream sack. Often it was quilted foil and paper. What a nice courtesy that was.

Now all the stores use plastic grocery sacks for everything, and they are marginal at best. Unless you tie your flimsy plastic grocery bags, the contents will be all over the floor and the seat by the time you get home.
