It's like "Nooo I'm going to drink that can of coke, I don't neeed a bag for it". It seems to be the total opposite in NZ. Heaven forbid you want a bag (because you stupidly forgot your fabric ones) for your weekly groceries lol. I mean wtf do they expect you to do with your stuff, man? lol. I know, weird huh?

The big chains are pretty good, and ask if you need bags (Sarah and I have 2 cloth ones, plus our backpacks), but at the small shops I have a lot of trouble getting the idea across to the workers that I don't want a bag. Like if you are at the dairy buying a coke or a chocolate bar, they try to give you a plastic bag. If you buy 2 chicken strip burgers for £2 they put them in Styrofoam containers and then put those in a plastic bag. I haven't even seen Styrofoam in NZ in the last 20 years!

If you're earning the pound, it's fantastic and cheap. And they have a large variety. But then there's the "customer service" and the carrying a million bags full of heavy crap back to the flat. Ah England. I think you should have a more attractive looking blog. Go find yoself a nice template dude! :) I love/hate shopping in England. If you’re earning the pound, it’s fantastic and cheap.
