Primark have been using paper bags for some time now.some shops have gone back to paper bags for small items and they can give them out free
When we had our business I bought a box of 2000 plain white carrier bags to use at family history fairs. They cost me no more than 1p each (including carriage). It will be a long time before we run out of bin linersShopping in Sainsburys the other day the cashier told us a customer came in and produced a roll of plastic bags to pack his shopping, bought in the Pound Shop, 40 on a roll I think she said for a errm, a pound.

Better quality bags and you're "in profit" after 8 weeks.

I've had an idea ..........How about instead of going into town either taking a carrier bag or buying one why not buy online and get it delivered the next day Oh hang on they are already doing that, BLAST, I thought I had a dragon's den moment there, just the one floor in my idea though, It puts thousands of extra vehicles on our roads many with less that perfect driver skills and most can't even speak decent english, so no that's a terrible idea, best go for option two then, government officials have chauffeur drivens car but only use them for silly little trips, why not have these drivers use their cars to deliver our goods 'URIKA', no that won't work either, they don't have time between polishing and driving their boss to the mistresses in their second home. Guess it is option three then, offer free bags and have a charity box on the counter .

Not quite right, if you employ less than 250 full-time equivalent staff in a year then you do NOT have to make a charge at all, although you are encouraged to do so voluntarily, and there are certain circumstances where a charge should NOT be made:I may be wrong but I believe the ruling is that if a company employs less than 250 people they do not have to pay the donation to the government, they are still suppose to charge for the bags so I have no idea about who pay what but I do agree with 'richr' that we should not be forced into charity donations.
"good causes", naturally this will require a huge office to administer our donations and take it upon themselves to decide what qualifies as a good cause, I don't want to support facilities to allow someone to run faster I want to support those that will never be able to run.

Yes, Lidl, Aldi, Netto (when they existed) always charged for bags, it kept their costs down which benefitted the customers who didn't need them, I remember at one time they didn't even supply shopping baskets so a carboard box was the only 'container' for your stuff, or alternatively it was quite common, especially abroad, for customers to put their shopping in their own bags and then empty them out at the checkout before re-filling them with the goods again, thankfully they now supply shopping baskets.Lidl have always charged for carrier bags around here. I think they were 5p with a bag for life type bag for about 12p, if I had to buy one I always got the heavy duty version and reused it if I remembered (not often)

Less than 250 employees so they don't have to charge.I bought some loose fruit and veg the other day from a stall and asked do I have to pay for the bag. Of course not came the reply good man thought I.
In Asda you have to ask for a bag. Dunno about the others.How do they control the bags at self service I would like to know

The problem is, my pockets are already full with keys phones cash cards poo bags dog treats ecigs etcTesco have always offered bag- free deliveries. We chose them because you got extra points and points mean Chunnel tickets. Deliveries come in trays which take no more time to unload onto the kitchen worktop than bags. All our local delivery drivers are quite happy with the idea.
When next you're in Europe buy some of the nylon packaway bags that cost about 1 euro from the likes of Monoprix or Auchan. They are available in UK but a couple of pounds often. They go in your pocket. I'm quite happy to buy a 5p new bag when I buy new clothes but I've always reused the bags afterwards.
Oh yes you are!That being the case I should be going into WH Smith for another card and challenge them when they try to charge for a bag Not that I'm awkward of course
Wear a gillet and action trousers - more pocketsThe problem is, my pockets are already full with keys phones cash cards poo bags dog treats ecigs etc
