But what a logistical nightmare that will be. Where will they keep 100s/1000s of ready assembled cardboard boxes ready for the next day's trade?

I take it you have never worked in a supermarket or retail before.

Hi,

anybody ever wonder how folks managed with the shopping before plastic bags were introduced?

Seems it was the 60's when they started being used, read.

Or how those of us manage in areas where bags already carry a fee.

It's not a problem, you just take your sturdy bags with you, or grab some boxes on the way out. Moving shopping around at home with 4 or 5 big hessian bags is much easier than 10 collapsing thin plastic bags, and easier on the hands too.

Safeway used to sell green boxes used in conjunction with the "scan as you go" approach to shopping.

As indeed did Sainsburys, Tescos & no doubt a few others. I still see the occasional shopper using them but only very rarely. Suspect most people do as I do & use them for storage at home.

But they'll very likely make a comeback next month - I guess the availability of free bags made it less attractive to keep a couple in the car but that all changes soon.
