Why is it up to the supermarket?
We have been doing it in SA for nearly a decade. I've used many different types of bags. You can even put it loose back in the trolley and then in to your car with no bags.

Of course, I realise I can bring or use whatever bag I choose.
I just think it is hypocritical that they ban single-use plastic bags, then sell you reusable plastic ones, for those who forgot or did not bring their own bags.
They should offer an alternative such as the eco-friendly biodegradable string bags I suggested for the purpose of carrying shopping home.
And yes, of course, they would still sell single-use bags needed for rubbish liners, but that is for a different purpose than carrying shopping home.
