Oh, this is fantastic what you are doing, more people need to be this conscientious, but it takes a lot of persuasion to convert some people.
As you mentioned, there is a lot of plastic with the produce, we find that here too and I always find it annoying. The other day I was at our local grocery store who had corn on sale. The produce girl happened to be filling the bin so I asked her if there were any paper bags. She said "no, everybody just uses plastic". I mentioned to her they should have paper and she said that she noticed I had my own cloth bags with me, but of course, none big enough for the corn. I proceeded to the cashier to ask for a paper bag and came back with one and the produce girl said "Oh, there you go", I told her it only makes one person at a time to make a change and that I would have to put a suggestion into their suggestion box, to which she said she will mention it to her manager. I will be surprised if they will do this, but there is always hope.

Most definitely. Just keep asking and hopefully one day they will listen and take action...
