Well I am in Europe and people don't always drive everywhere.
I see it most days at the supermarket near my local train station: people get off the train and stop by to buy stuff. I see a good number of people buying "reusable" bags because they don't have any bags with them... it is ridiculous not to be able to have access to single use bags in this scenario. Mandate that they be paper or compostable if needed but "no it's banned" is not pragmatic at all.
