To be fed up with hidden bags !

Trying to shop anywhere, for example, Tesco...

I'm in the trolley self check outs since there's only one main till open and have to bloody search everywhere for a bag!

I've been in Sainsbury's today at the self-checkout and the same thing. Can't ask someone for help as they're busy for ages.

Primark last week, the bags were hidden far away at the end of the self-checkouts. Why are shops doing this?

In my local Coop there is a notice at the self checkout tills that plastic bags are available at the counter where you buy cigarettes because people are just taking the bags and not paying for them!

Luckily the counter is close by but there are times when it is not staffed so must be annoying to some customers.

Because they want to encourage you to bring your own bags.

I’ve heard it’s because people are nicking them because they won’t pay the 30p
