How else would you do it? I stopped myself when I was just about lick my fingers to open a plastic bag for fruit the other day, realizing maybe it's not good to do in these times, but I couldn't figure out an alternative and gave in.

If a bag is particularly stubborn, move on to a new bag. Some cashiers have damp sponges or similar to help them open bags without licking their fingers because they aren't heathens. They are the rare exception.

- muzani 7y agoIt seems like bad hygiene even without coronavirus. Most places I know use damp sponges. Experienced cashiers can open them fairly easily. Also it's 2020 and we've really cut down on plastic bag use in Asia.
