You see it on loads of usa tv shows and movies... and i always wonder how usa people manage to not drop their groceries as they come out the store in those brown paper bags which have no handles. tbh i must admit it is more eco-friendly than uk and our masses of plastic grocery bags. still... usa... handles make carrying stuff easier.

The brown bags are for show. ewhere i go shopping they give you plastic bags with handles, sometimes at some of our specialty stores you will receive groceries in a brown paper bag with handles.
