Then photograph, tally, and post it here. What can we learn about our habits and lifestyles by examining our waste? And what changes can each of us make to leave the planet a little less trashy?

If all they had were those dang plastic bags, I’d hand them a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper and ask them to please use that. They always obliged, though it took some getting over the funny looks from other customers.  Good luck!
