It's the rules, mate.

Where did you spend the money? If they have less than 250 staff then they do not have to charge for a bag.

This is true.

The club shop.

I didn't know that. Still why wouldn't they if they can charge ?

This is very true, it is also very true that they are free to charge for a bag if the shop is run by the owner and they are the only member of staff. First world problems.

Wonder what Dale Vince would say?

Only started charging recently and it does go to charity. I had to buy a couple of bags a few weeks ago. The money was going to the poor woman from the chippy who died recently.

I think its the law that they have to charge , you could have asked them to refund , and do a new invoice to include the bag.

Not sure why a thread on a 5p bag. However, if spending that amount of money and you need a bag for logistics of items bought then I would suggest 5p is neither here nor there. On the other hand, congratulations for resisting the temptation of a bag and doing your bit for the environment.

 

[Cricklewoodimp]

5p or not, why are shops still giving out plastic bags?

I just couldnt put it on my credit card could i? And the fuss of cancelling and redoing a bill wasnt worth it imo!

You want to get a fold-away shopping bag. Made from tough nylon it folds into itself, and fits in your pocket. I asked for one for Xmas- a stocking filler from Mrs Croozey. I particularly asked for a macho pattern on it. I was thinking camouflage or Heavy Metal style. What I got was an old git tartan 'Roy Cropper' style. But anyway it has saved me loads of money when you add up the 5 p and sometimes 10p's. I worked it out the other day it's easily saved me £12 or £13 already this year.

Huzzah! the legislation has worked.

The Co-op have some good bags. I bought two of the lime green ones they had out a couple of years ago. One folds up small for your pocket and the other is really heavy duty. The girls at work liked the colour so much I ended up buying them some.
