I think that's a bit crazy in this day and age! There are better ways of advertising than plastic bags. People could buy cotton bags, for example, with the charity name on them. hmm… I think that’s a bit crazy in this day and age! There are better ways of advertising than plastic bags.

In the end they radioed from the cash desk to the security guard to let them know I was coming......... (complete with 2 year old in his cycle helmet! Highly dangerous) A lot of charity shops I've been to actually use used bags rather than new ones - they re use the bags that people have used to take in their donations. MUCH more sensible as it means they are being used for a 3rd time.

"We have to," was her defence line, and didn't care a thing for my pleas that I would go straight to the nearest toilet and put them on and therefore didn't need a bag. Crazy!
