The great Morrisons Carrier bag lie!

[soforene]

I popped into Morrisons to buy a few bits and bobs and the checkout lady claimed she was nearly running out of carrier bags and did I want to buy one of their stronger ones for 12p.
"No way in hell you lying scumbag!" I screamed.
"This is just a ploy to wean people off the so called "free" bags that we have been paying for via your increased profits over the years and which you are now trying to screw additional money out of us by claiming that by charging us for something we are already paying for, we will somehow be helping the planet and not your own profits!!".

I actually said "No thanks" and she magically found some free ones (as is my right as an English gentlemen blessing them with my custom). https://www.motor.org.uk/imagelibrary/Nations/england-flag-v.small.jpg
But I was given (as a gift) a party political broadcast about how Wales and Scotland already charge for them (It's a lie: Wales do but Scotland will be charging later on this year) and that England will be charging later on this year too.
Another actual lie as the government have not yet decided on a date for England.

How sad that the supermarkets are forcing their staff to blatantly lie to customers.

I may bless other establishments with my patronage in future days instead of these rapscallions .......

Probably because Morrisons ones are the only ones which have a hope of actually holding your goods.

I have to double or triple bag from Sainsburys/Tesco/Asda.

Just take your own bags.

I call Horse droppings Sir.

In Scotland (Bonnie) those cnuts B&Q charge for carrier bags (5p they say goes to charity)
In England B&Q give a free bag with any purchase.



B&Q is a sort of supermarket.

They should give out recycled bags

You should do the Scouseland habit of going in with a rucksack, packing it full, then walking out the door. You even give them a helping hand by not inconveniencing their till staff, or wasting any carrier bags at all. Tiz a philanthropic and thoughtful part of the world

Hey Phil Dawson,

Tell the good people of BCF about the great carrier bag conspiracy.

[Vincent]

The free ones are useful for dog sh1te so I usually pick a few spare ones up and fill me pockets

I've decided recently to try and live a life where I never have to walk into a supermarket. Not easy...those barstewards almost have it sewn up

If I can buy 10,000 carrier bags for £72 (0.72p a bag), how much can someone with the buying power of a large supermarkets buy them for?

I do shopping on the bike, therefore take my own bags. Carrier bags are just a bit under-par for my needs

Yes it's bloody ridiculous this bag tax.

It is also a tax on blokes, I do not always know when I am going shopping or when I might pop in to a shop. I am not some bird with a hand bag where I can easily store a plastic bag.

Ireland is fecking stupid over this, 17c per bag in Cork last month. Ohh forget the self scan in Tescos it totally negates it, as there are no bags.

Coming back from Ireland, I had the joy of Morissons in Holyhead, they have followed the paddies again, first no smoking in pubs, now no shopping bags.

I blame the Irish, in fact i'm off to give out to my wife.

Say what you like about the cost, but I only use re-usable bags because I actually do have a concern about the impact that carrier bags have on the environment.

It's not pandering to political dogma, it actually disgusts me how much rubbish we collectively send to landfill.

Take off hoodie

Tie the drawstrings in the neck tight to close the hole & tuck hood over

Turn upside down, fill with shopping, use arms as shoulder straps

Moonwalk out the supermarket giving everyone the finger

I think we should all do a poo in the bagging area and give them an unexpected item to really worry about.
