How many plastic bags does the average store use in one day?

[Edit]

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.
