No. You're not supposed to use them.

They're supposed to be shitty, so you bring your own bag (or buy a cloth one) yourself

Having really shitty bags is probably the best idea of all.

I mean I almost always have a reusable bag since plastic's been banned in my city for like 10 years, but for those very rare times I forget my bag it would be really, really nice if the paper bags weren't totally useless. I agree with your point though, just cool it worked to have both :(
