a couple of stores here have boxes, and charge for plastic bags...

works well.
Supermarkets in UK used to do that when I was a child, but now it is seen as a very downmarket thing to do. You would never get supermarkets here to give out cardboard boxes. We did have a supermarket that produced reusable crates, they were good but the supermarket went out of business.
