I think there's some regulation about non-food items have to be separate from food items. Last week Whole Foods even put my soap, shampoo and conditioner in a plastic bag before they that in my cloth bags. At my local grocery (Winn Dixie), I often wind up bagging my own groceries, and I stuff it all together. If they actually have extra people and bag my groceries for me, I've chastised them for one or two items per plastic bag. Generally I'll stop by the plastic bag recycle bin and rebag my groceries. I've got to get in the habit to take my cloth bags again to Winn Dixie.
