In many shops here the plastic bag with the shop's name on it is only
available at the check out counter and seems to, in addition to
holding the goods, serve as evidence that you've paid for the stuff.

When I was last at Walmart, I bought a glue stick and said "no bag;
I'll put it in my pocket", and the clerk verified that I'd taken the
receipt.
