I'm sorry. I have to disagree here. Nobody would say this. Believe me. I assume that you are talking about buying something and you don't want it in a bag that is clear. A bag that is see-thru. So if this is the case you could say, "Please don't put it in a clear bag." or "I'd prefer that you didn't use a clear bag." Something like that would work.
