1.) Ask whether the customer would like the product placed in a bag;
2.) If yes, put the product in the bag;
3.)HAND THE BAG TO THE CUSTOMER!
It's an insult to the customer to omit step 3-- doing so carries the message, "We've taken your money and we don't care to expend any more effort on you. Now take your junk and get outta here."
When a cashier fails to execute step 3.), I stand at the register, blocking the next transaction until the cashier notices that I haven't left. When he or she looks at me as if to say, "What do YOU want?" I politely ask him/her to hand me my purchase. If I get a sullen or puzzled look, I explain that it's incredibly rude to treat customers as if they vanish once they hand over the cash.
This policy isn't unique to Staples, alas-- it's spreading throughout the retail industry. And for what reason? Faster register throughput? Heeding the advice of some lame-brained and overpaid retail consultant?
One of our local stores (West Lebanon) is improving in its frequency of executing step 3.), but a couple of their cashiers occasionally forget.

It's a pack of bubble wrap for crying out loud!!! What's the worst that I'd expect, no bubbles? It's just fine, full of air and easy to rip. ooh and it's extremely flexible too.
Would I recommend this to a friend? Well, If a friend asked me to recommend bubble wrap, I'd be concerned about his/her sanity.

Used this product for shipping out fragile items to my family and friends. I was able to use it for more that 1 item to wrap it with. Pretty easy... wrap it up and you're good to go. Good buy when you're on a budget too.

I bought exactly the same product but in a larger size for less money at a [...] closer to my home. It had a few more feet of bubble wrap and was almost a dollar less expensive. I use this for wrapping and I use a lot as I have a vintage jewelry business on line. I try to buy the least expensive products for wrapping I can find and that includes shipping boxes etc. I find that Staples is fairly expensive for these items.
