To be annoyed at mandatory 5p carrier bag charge when there's no carrier bAg?

I know it's only 5p and I need to put here but I am slightly annoyed by the principle of it.

Ordering pizza from a well known national chain via their app, a mandatory 5p charge for a carrier bag was put on. I pick the pizzas up in store, no carrier bag. I jokingly say "where's my carrier bag". They say they don't have carrier bags.

I'm now puzzling over whether they'd just run out or never have them. But even if they did have them in, who on earth wants 4 big boxed pizzas in a carrier bag? I'm hardly going to carry them home vertically in a bag as they'd all slide into a mush.

If this store do t his to everyone they're making a fortune nationwide.

Wouldn't it be cruel to put a live fish in a carrier bag?

I presume this is to cover transporting pet fish home from the pet shop :)

Ah. I was thinking maybe some fishmongers sold live fish for you to kill at home like the lobsters in French supermarkets!
