> I prefer that in the UK you can still get them but you have to pay a small fee Which is a nice earner for some supermarkets. For example Sainsbury levy a bag fee on orders delivered to your home, even though the groceries come in crates which you hand back to the driver. It's only 40 pence or thereabouts but cumulatively must be considerable. This annoyed my wife considerably as she always specifies "no bags". When she complained to Sainsbury they said that this was an averaged fee as their system couldn't charge specific customers for the bags they received. So she switched to their rivals Tesco who only charge a fee if you request bags.
