Beware of the automatic checkouts. Someone I know got to the end of her scanning and was asked by the machine, how many bags she had used. As you used to get points for using your own bags, she pressed 2 (she had brought 2 jute bags with her) and then the total showed up.
When she had paid, she realised that she had been charged 10p for two plastic bags, not credited with points for using her own. It seems that supermarket no longer gives you points for using your own.

She went to customer services who reluctantly refunded her the 10p.

:facepalm:

If I'd been next in the queue I'd have offered her a quid just to fvck off.

Self scan should ask you at the start whether you brought your own bags.

John Landis NEVER gets a mention as one of the all-time great directors. But he really, really should.

If anything, it's too little too late. People are stupid enough to pay over a fiver for a pint. That'll buy a years supply of plastic bags for someone who can't be bothered to bring their own bag.

Childish schoolboy humour, gratuitous nudity and disgusting behaviour. Really, what's not to like about it :)
