We actually don't get the paper -- T and I both read all our news online. But since I live in a building with a lobby, papers aren't usually delivered in sleeves anyway. Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

We'll get used to reusable bags, I'm sure; just a matter of developing the habit. The checkers are also still working on making it part of their routine -- the first couple of times at Whole Foods, the hand-over was fairly awkward.
