    Most people don’t in the US, no. In my city there isn’t really functional transit so that’s not really a thing.

          Hmmmm. So what happens to the bags after people buy things with them I’m not sure I understand. Why don’t they just stay in the car for next time?

            Grocery bags are disposable plastic. In my state they cost a few cents each as of a couple of years ago. Reusable bags are common, but it’s also common to forget them and need to buy disposable bags. Most people reuse them as e.g. trash bags for bathrooms.
