Page 1 of Morrisons to put price of bags to 30p

Knew this was always going to be a profit making scheme, as we started with 5p plastic bags to 'save the planet' and now Morrisons is moving onto 30p for a plastic bag.

So its now a case of boycotting Morrisons supermarkets, or doing the old dirty tactics again in protest, by going out the door with a full week of shopping in a trolley without using a bag. it drives the security man nuts 

Talking about this pay for bag situation, it has caused a lot of security problems, as now shoplifters can just leave the store with product in hand and the security do not know if the item has been purchased or not. I bet shoplifting has went up a lot now.

The other problem is if you buy something from another store but using a different make of bag or have no bag, once you go into a different store, it can cause confusion at the till. its not the first time I have had to say to the sales person, that this item in my hand was bought elsewhere, and had the receipt to prove it.

This might be saving the plant with payable bags, but has caused a lot of problems.

I must be completely missing them then! I've not seen any problems at all.

Security don't know if the products are purchased or not lol.
Erm, receipts?

Ste

I've never had a problem using Tesco bags in Sainsbury's or vice versa, or walking out of the shop just carrying some bananas I bought at self service.

One time I bought a vacuum cleaner and nothing else in Sainsbury's, as I left the shop the security guard said 'excuse me sir, I didn't see you go through the till can I see your receipt please.?'

So I showed him receipt and said ' I'd have to have a pretty big pair of balls to walk off with a vacuum cleaner.

He thanked me, and said "you'd be surprised"


When I do big shop, I hang carrier bags on hook on back of trolley( I leave emoty ones in boot of car now, as I used to forget to take them), and when paying bag them and put in trolley. The only slight inconvenience is they used to be able to scan and bag if you were still putting things on conveyor belt.

When I've left bags in boot, I've walked out pushing trolley full of things, never been questioned.

Maybe you just look shifty ;)

It's the accent.
That and the tin foil hat. 

Regularly use all kinds of those canvas types they sell in every supermarket.
I've never had 'He looks suspicious using an Aldi bag in Tesco'

The court heard that he (the thief) is set to meet with staff at the Asda store to apologise later this month.
They better watch after the meeting, that he does not leg it again with another full trolley of booze
