In Italy, the "bagging" culture at supermarkets is quite different from the full-service experience often found in the United States. At almost all Italian grocery stores, such as Conad, Coop, or Esselunga, you are expected to bag your own groceries. The checkout process is very fast; the cashier scans items rapidly and slides them into a small holding area at the end of the counter. You must be prepared to bag them just as quickly to avoid holding up the line. Most importantly, plastic bags are not free and are not automatically provided; you must ask for them ("una busta, per favore") or pick them up from under the counter, and you will be charged a few cents for each. These bags are almost always biodegradable and can be somewhat fragile, so most Italians bring their own sturdy, reusable "eco-bags." Another important cultural quirk: if you are buying fruits or vegetables, you must weigh them and print a price sticker in the produce aisle before you get to the checkout; Italian cashiers generally cannot weigh produce at the register, and arriving with un-labeled fruit is considered a major faux pas that will result in you being sent back to the aisle while the line waits.
