Major high street stores have been accused of ripping off shoppers by charging up to 10p for paper carrier bags – despite them being exempt from the new laws brought in last month.

 

Outraged shoppers have hit out at Debenhams and House of Fraser claiming they are 'cashing in' by charging for paper bags when other high street shops offer them for free.

 

House of Fraser has said the charge for paper bags had been introduced for 'ethical and moral' reasons, and that all proceeds would be donated to charity.

 

However, shoppers have taken to Twitter to express their anger at the charge.

Hmm, I would have ...

 

A - told them to take the shoes back and I would go elsewhere, or

B - told them to keep the carrier bag and taken the shoes out in just the box - and then caused a fuss when security tried to stop me from leaving the premises !!

 

I agree with the tweeter.. if HoF want to donate money to charity, donate the 5/10 p from the obviously overpriced product ?

Previously there was a tacit quid pro quo - in return for spending money with you, you'll provide me with a free carrier bag and I'll walk round advertising your business. Now they're effectively charging you to be a mobile billboard.

 

Maybe we ought to insist charging them for advertising space
