WHSmith (British stationary/book store) have started charging a penny for their carrier bags. It's a minuscule amount, but it does make you think when they have to ask you every single time. It didn't actually stop me getting one - the stuff I was getting wouldn't fit into my backpack - but it seemed effective. Plus, Woolworths charges 3p a bag, so I just shoved their stuff into the WHSmith's bag instead. See? It worked. I used less bags.
Waterstones (dedicated bookseller) have yet to start charging for bags, and they have the very best kind. Reinforced handles, which is necessary. Books are extremely heavy for their size.
