it all depends on many things store size, number of customers the store is having each day, buying power of the community etc etc . but lets say if you are talking about X store in your community and it has 5 cash counters,
from 7am to 9pm we consider it all busy hours and on average 2 minutes a person on each cash counter, that means 840 minutes/2 mins per customer = 420 customers, per counter, during these hours and if they use 2 bags each that means 840 bags each cash counter and 5 counter means 4200 bags
from 9pm to 7am in non busy hours and on average 10 minutes a person that means
600mins/10 mins per customer=60 customers each counter.
5 counters x 60 customers each = 300 customers carrying one bag each
4200bags+300bags=4500 bags a day!!!
but that is a very low estimate, in starting days of month people carry up to 5 bags per person easily. you can add another 3000 bags to it to be more accurate so 4500+3000=7500 bags a day.
The exact answer is too many
an average person uses 2 plastic bags
if they have lots of food they use more than 2.

One can find biodegradable plastic bags in store at Sainsburys, Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Wilkinsons, Boots, Marks & Spencer and many more UK based supermarkets.
A common estimate is that global consumption of plastic bags is over 500 billion plastic bags annually. Yes that's 500,000,000,000 plastic bags used per year. In other words, that's almost 1 million plastic bags used per minute.As if that's not enough, some environmental groups have estimated that up to 1 trillion plastic bags are used worldwide each year. Now, depending on your definition of the word "trillion", that would be 1,000,000,000,000 plastic bags!

As a retailer, you know that plastic bags are the cheapest bags that you can give to your customers. However, you also know that they are not the most environmentally friendly option available. Many customers still like using plastic bags, and might be disappointed if you stopped using them entirely. Others, however, might be frustrated at your lack of environmental conscience. Fortunately, you can provide your customers with the plastic bags they want and still do your part to help out the environment. Here are several ways to stay green while still keeping plastic bags on hand for the customers that want them. If at all possible, purchase wholesale plastic bags that are at least partially made of recycled material. If a customer complains that you still use plastic bags, you can say that many customers still prefer them. You can then add that you only use bags that are made of at least some post-consumer content. Plastic bags with post-consumer content are not much more expensive than traditional plastic bags. You can also add a recycling station for the plastic bags at your store. Encourage your customers to bring their used plastic bags back to the store. Contact your local recycling center for information on where you can take or send these used bags. Although most local recycling centers do not accept plastic bags, they should have contact information for the nearest facility that does accept them. Finally, encourage your customers to use reusable shopping bags when they shop. Many retail stores do this by offering a small, token discount for each bag that a customer brings in to use. This discount is usually five or ten cents off the total purchase price. You could even sell reusable bags in the store next to the checkout. If you can encourage more of your customers to bring their own bags with them while shopping, you will need to purchase fewer plastic bags. This can help you save money as well. If you use these tips, you will be able to reduce your store’s environmental impact while keeping your customers and your bottom line happy.
