I think COVID-times ended that habit quickly around my city. I used to lick my finger to open plastic bags on the supermarket and now try to find something wet instead - usually alcohol bottle.

(I'm asure it was always a bit nasty but when it became a deadly move, my habits finally changed...)

I just find something cold in my cart and use the condensation to wet my fingers

I touch a drop of water coming out of the produce sprayer, if available.

(No, I don't touch the sprayer, just a drop.)

On softer plastic bags, stretching the plastic near the opening usually allows you to open it. Does a little bit of damage though.
