I generally use the 5 a day bags to pre bag leafy greens and a few other things. Beans and other such items go right into the "t-shirt" bag or the customer's reusable bag.

I insist on clean bags only and have had to toss out bad batches of bags and than refuse bags from such people.

I don't like those 5 a day bags they are so incredibly  thin that even string beans will punch holes in the bags. Its embarrassing to see a customer walk to the car and the bags bust on the way. Many times customers do me a favor and bring giant bundles of used bags. I thank them, and later toss them in the trash. I don't approve of selling my produce in a used bag with some supermarket logo on it. I have gotten bags smelling from cat piss and found roaches in others... Bob.
