No they never have broken. I forgot, the left one in the photo was the heaviest, it had two large cans of V8 juice and a head of cabbage. The clerks usually double bag heavy things. You are right though there are different quality plastic bags in the different shops. If you need to do this maybe you should make sure they double bag. The bags from the major groceries seem thinner than the bags from the mom and pop shops in DC. The thinnest are the Safeway bags. I forgot to report that I ask for double bags if the bike loading seems sketchy. I explain that I'm on a bike. This morning I didn't have to ask, the clerk just doubled both bags. After I took the photos I had to cut the bags off, they don't come off easily without scissors or a knife.
