I was doing some shopping in a local market (Safeway chain). I don't buy their produce, because it's overpriced, and the price/quality at my nearby "indie" stores is much better.
However, a customer was buying some tomatoes, and was bagging them from one of the rolls of bags provided. This chain has 2 kinds of produce bags ... clear, and green (which is a bit flimsier). Another customer asked her if the tomatoes were "organic." She said "no." The gentleman told her that the store charges you for "organic," if a product is in a green bag. I've never seen any signage to that effect, and the two types of bags seem to be evenly dispersed throughout the produce department. Although, it seems that the green bags tend at "hand level," while the clear ones are high up, above the displays around the periphery.
I asked the checkout clerk, and she was a bit vague ... "well, the green are 'associated,' with organic, and we should ask."
So, you might want to check with your markets, if they offer different types bags for produce.
