Shopping Bags

Marks & Spencer seem to be quick off the mark in their public anouncements on carbon footprints and sustainability yet maybe their staff have not all got the message. I found myself needing to shop there today and wasn't prepared with my usual old bag to put things in. So I found myself in a major struggle with the person on the check out about trying to minimise the number of bags I would use - are check out staff given targets for using as many bags as possible? This came to a head with the British Daffs I purchased - these were deemed to need two bags! When I protested and got them in with the rest of my shopping this was almost viewed as revolutionary action and the look of horror was only barely suppressed. Oh well, the great leap forwards may take longer than I was hoping!
