> Any intelligent person that regularly go to stores during lunch breaks or when commuting is either always carrying a backpack or a small foldable shopping bag

The problem is all the non-intelligent people, like me, who don’t carry this. I don’t carry a backpack around on my lunch break (or really anywhere other than when I’m hiking).

I have a foldable shopping bag which is smaller than my wallet, you don’t need a full backpack. If I think I might want to pop into the shops while out, I’ll chuck it in my pocket.

Sure, if you want to do a big family shop then it’s a bit different, but that’s more of an event anyway.

Does it fit inside my phone? Because I need a bag about 1% of the time and I’m not carrying a bag for those occassions.

It doesn't have to be a backpack. A foldable shopping bag fit in the pockets of your pants. If this is something you do regularly, you would learn at the second occurence to have any kind of bag ready at your place of work.
