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?

Not always

I know for a fact that the paper bags in Greggs which cost 10p-all of that goes to the Greggs Foundation which helps run breakfast clubs for vulnerable kids amongst other things 🤷🏼‍♀️

Personally I always have a fold up back. In fact I got one reduced to a quid in Primark that fits easily in any bag.

I get if you go out without the intention of shopping it's easy to forget but if you always have one in your bag you won't forget it...

And if you don't carry a handbag like the poster above you- and most men?

If you can fit a phone in your pocket you can fit a folded up plastic bag.

If you say so. I was out this afternoon with my phone on a lanyard as no pockets in my clothes I suppose I could also have fitted the bag in the back of the phone accordingto you. Which leads to a totally different topic about why women's clothes have a lack of decent pockets lol
