Just have to deal with it...

So it's finally happened - 5p for a supermarket plastic bag.  I've had my say about that, and I won't bore you by repeating what I think about it.  Some people have taken to nicking baskets or even trollies - can't really see that these would be much use to them in the long run, so I think it must be people just doing it to get their own back on the supermarkets - which is a bit silly as it's not the supermarkets' fault.  In fact I was talking to a checkout operator the other day who said that they're not that happy about it - it's causing them a lot of hassle, and slowing down the whole checkout procedure while customers sort out the bags they've brought with them.  Ah well, it was just a matter of time...
