(USA) Is It Rude To Ask To Bag Your Own Groceries? (beehaw.org)

Is there some rule that employees have to follow that doesn't allow customers to bag? Or is it just that they're incentivized to offer? I'd love some input from people who have worked in some of the bigger companies. For reference, I mostly use Publix.

Ever since the plastic bag ban, most places I’ve been to rarely bag groceries. Especially if you don’t buy their 20 cent bags.

We still have plastic bags where I live. I reuse them as trash bags or just as a way to carry stuff until they die, then I try to take them to a plastic bag recycling place but I kinda doubt they actually get recycled.
