Paid Members Surf Digby Posted October 14, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted October 14, 2015 When actually were the good old days? I don't know of any of my 1980s childhood friends blowing up frogs or killing other animals for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoKonjic Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 We used to catch frogs and newts but it would never cross my mind to blow one up. One kid chucked one over a house and I ran off crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Me and a fellow 8 year old cut a lizard in half in Turkey once with a hotel room key. I feel sick as a pig and want to cut myself in half thinking back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Your Fight Site Posted October 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 So tired of seeing people post about the 5p shopping bag charge. I had one share this morning that said a conglomerate of the four biggest supermarkets we're donating the money made from bags to animal testing and vivisection. A quick Google revealed it was actually Alzheimer's research, and the only mention of "animal testing" was by the Facebook page from which the post was shared.

Rey_Piste Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I had to laugh at one guy walk out with an arm full of shopping because he didn't want to pay the 5p in Tesco. It's not going to break the fucking bank, so all these people walking out with baskets and trying to steal trolleys is fucking ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 I work in a shop, and the amount of people who are now some kind of balancing act because they're too tight to pay 5p is hilarious. "Why did you come up with this idea?" Is the best ice had so far, as if I'm the person responsible for it all "Do you need a bag for your items?" " I suppose I have to, otherwise people will think I'm stealing" is another great one. Add to all this people moaning about the lack of Apple Pay/Contactless payment because people are too lazy to remember bleeding numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undefeated Steak Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) It's amazing how people can get so worked up about something so trivial. It's like Facebook updates that blow your mind but in real life. If they're spending half an hour shopping but refuse to pay for four carrier bags at a grand total of 20p then you wonder how little they value their time. The same people who buy ready meals with more packaging than calories are the same people who complain about the 5p charge.

icke83 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 And it's not like they were free before, these overheads are obviously factored in to the prices.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) It's more of a principal thing isnt it for some people. Yeah its only 5pence, but still, regardless of the price why pay to advertise a store? I'd rather struggle myself.

Undefeated Steak Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 And it's not like they were free before, these overheads are obviously factored in to the prices.. Bang on. Supermarkets were never complimenting customers with free bags. They paid for millions a year and we were charged accordingly. It's more of a principal thing isnt it for some people. Yeah its only 5pence, but still, regardless of the price why pay to advertise a store? I'd rather struggle myself. Would people be more willing to accept the 5p charge for a brand-free bag? I doubt it. The newsagents down the road from us doesn't advertise their shop but they're still getting the same grief Morrisons do with their logo on the plastic.

WyattSheepMask Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Not to get all Al Gore about it, but If it changes peoples habits and stops plastic bags going to landfill then I've nothing wrong with it. Can't remember where I saw it reported, it may have been the bbc, but last year it was 7.5b bags that went to landfill. It's just people having a moan for the sake of having a moan. They'll take advantage of every BOGOF offer they can, but god forbid paying for a bag to transport it back home Edited October 15, 2015 by WyattSheepMask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted October 15, 2015 Author Paid Members Share Posted October 15, 2015 I like the 5p bags. The bags themselves are of much better quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted October 15, 2015 Moderators Share Posted October 15, 2015 I like the bag charge, but you definitely need to sort your shit out and get Contactless payment* in your store. Not having that makes you look proper second rate. * even though it's a stupid fucking name as your card does actually make contact with the reader. Why not just PINless payment?
