 I was in Italy this summer. At the little corner stores, they'd scan
 your items, but then leave them at the bottom of the conveyor and look
 at you strangely when you asked for a bag. They'd sort of pull off one
 of those thin plastic bags that most US states have banned, and have
 you bag away.

 My italian wasn't great, I may have been asking for something else and
 not known.
