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 etc2014 Target;

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?
