I'm going to go to Marks & Sparks Monday lunch time when it's busy and load up a trolley full of food, load it all onto the checkout and refuse to pay 5p for each bag then walk out. It will probably take a member of staff about an hour to put it all back on the shelves, a lot more than it would have cost to give me free plastic bags. I think everyone should do this.
