Could someone with global insights on packing customs improve the explanation, to make it work internationally?

:In most stores in the US, the cashier bags your goods. A handful of grocery stores have the customers bag their own items. Bags are free for the customer. Some stores will give a small refund if you bring in reusable bags. It's not really a "practice" in the sense of a formalized policy to use as many bags as possible. But some cashiers do seem to have a tendency to use excess bags. I think it's because it's often easier to get another bag than to rearrange items to fit more into the bag, plus the desire to avoid overloading them. So, it's more laziness than a formal practice [[User:CVictoria|CVictoria]] ([[User talk:CVictoria|talk]]) 18:09, 19 July 2014 (UTC) | :In most stores in the US, the cashier bags your goods.
