Some people (not a lot) carry backpacks and they are difficult for everyone around them. They tend to get stuffed with stuff and every time they turn, they whack someone with it which in turn makes for irate shoppers around you. I prefer and large purse/shopping bag and carry my money and cards in a holder around my neck. Also, with a shopping bag, if you want to squeeze thru behind people you can just hold it at your side and slip thru sideways. You have to remember that the aisles are wall-to-wall people at times. Not a lot of personal space. But I agree about taking a lightweight bag inside them for the backage check. I just use the cheap freebies that I've collected from various places.
