  • there is usually someone supervising the area anyway - if you want a bag then you just ask them.

    Personally I think the scheme is going to be more extensive than has been announced - I can see there being arguments as to whether a store is big enough to be included in the scheme ......of course if that happens be prepared to pay for a bag from the chippy etc

    I'm more worried about what I'm going to use for poo bags for the cats... I don't want to use a bag that cost 5p every time I pick the lumps out of the kitty litter.

    That'll be 10p per day, so £36.50 a year :eek:.

    Most carrier bags have holes in the bottom anyway!

    I used nappy bags for my litter.

    They already do it in m&s.

    Not putting it through would be the same as stealing anything else at the self service till.

    The clumps are bigger than the holes.

    Looks like that's what I'll have to do... pay for those rather than use the free bags from shopping.

    Most large supermarkets have CCTV watching the self-service checkouts. If you're wise you'd bear that in mind!

    I think it's fairly unlikely that you'd self-scan if you had five bags' worth of shopping. That's a lot of shopping and you're more likely to go to a normal till. However, for argument's sake... if you press the 'one bag' button instead of the more honest 'five bags', you 'save' (steal) 20p. Over a lifetime (50 years say) visiting the supermarket 50 times a year, that's a saving (theft) of £500!! Who needs a pension? :D
