Its hardly difficult, and takes a modicum of effort, which in turn off-sets damage to the environment.

They've been charging here since the beginning of October. We use our bags to put rubbish in, they have a short shelf life before they turn nasty (and try and suffocate you). Who wants to put fresh meat in a rotten old bag that's been in the boot for a month? No-one. I want my BD's in a nice new bag as well otherwise I'm taking them out shoplifter style (with receipt of course).

The new bags (the 5p ones) are also terrible not like the old ones which really used to punch Mother Nature in the face. Is the 5p going to the environment (that's not a definite, shops with a staff less than 10 don't have to keep a record)? They haven't lowered the price of the shopping so now we're essentially paying for the bags again.

I feel sorry for checkout operators though, they've had some grumpy bastards to deal with other the last few weeks.
