you've had over a month now to get used to it, have you short time memory loss?
Oh, and you don't 'bring' a bag, you 'take' a bag with you,,,,,if you remember.
I went into Costa, bought a hot panini, I wanted a bag as it was hot in my hand. They are paper bags and they wanted 5p for one! Yet Primark don't charge for their paper bags, Eat doesn't either, so why do Costa?
I do hate when I forget to bring a plastic bag, it happened today, so I fit as much as I can into one bag.
Which company do you work for? Asking just so that 1) I don't upset you or your colleagues if I ever happen to forget my bags and 2) to make sure I spend my money somewhere else.
I have a terrible short term memory. I'm constantly forgetting where I've put my keys or my phone. I often go out and forget to take things I need.
I often forget to take a shopping bag when I leave home. I often reach a shop and realise I forgot to bring a bag.
(You take the bag from home. You bring it to the shop.)
Well a Monet is pretty generous
yes, of course, you can take a bag from home, but when you get to the checkout you don't say to the cashier,'I've bringed my own bag you
would say I've brought my own bag, or no thanks, I have a bag.
