The cloth bags, even with the loop on the back, flop around and don’t even become stable until you have placed various items in them.

Yup, I watch at the store as clerks try to fill those bags. For the first few seconds it looks like a wrestling match.

One of the things I liked about Japan were the grocery stores - every customer bags their own food. It makes much more sense, and the stores set up a system where the customer once bagging is no longer in the line, so the line doesn’t slow down.
