Fine for carrots (usually) because they tend to be at the cheaper end,
they often keep well (as you said), and many people use them frequently..
Very, very much less acceptable for vegetables which are expensive, have
poor keeping qualities, and may not be used very often. E.g. mushrooms
(treated as if vegetables though we all know they are not!), leaf
vegetables.

But those sort of things are generally sold pre-packed anyway - not loose?

You really don't do the shopping, do you?
