I work at a gas station. We sell food beer etc.

I ask "would you like a bag?"

Or "Do you need a bag?"

A sack for putting things in in a shop is usually called a "funda" here in Ecuador.

I agree with QFreed:

You can say:

¿Le gustaría una bolsa?

o

¿Quisiera una bolsa?

= Would you like a bag?

I would recommend you stick with would you like it is generally more respectful/polite than Do you want? You can use the second form with young children at home in an informal setting

I hope this helps grin

Corregid mi español, por favor grin
