I HATE B&Q
The other day I spent over £50.00 in B&Q on a number of items. I paid via the do it yourself (appropriately) cash machine and whilst there I asked a B&Q person if I could take a bag. She replied that they were 5 pence and I had to scan it.
I scanned it – nothing happened. I scanned it again – nothing happened. I scanned it again – nothing happened and I thought, bollocks, I’ll have it anyway.
Having paid my £50.00 plus I started to put my items into the bag and the woman immediately fronted me saying “you have to pay for that bag – its 5 pence” (she’d obviously been watching me but had decided not to help earlier in the proceedings) I told her that I’d tried scanning it but nothing happened.
She scanned it – nothing happened. She scanned it again – nothing happened. She got out her Colt 45 hip holstered scanning gun and beeped it – it rang up – on the cash payment machine next to the one I was on. She then told me I had to put my card in and pay for it – 5 pence - which I begrudgingly did.
I hate B&Q now – tight bastards.

Rainy winters snug by the fire, sunny hot summers like Spain growing olives, grapes, lemons and limes; this is climate change - don't listen to them - they're talking bollocks.

WELL DONE PIERRE
A big thank you to Pierre, Jean Paul, Luc and Marco, the four Froggie fishermen for starving Britain of goods over the last few days - that's not 'French' at all is it?

I think the technical term for what you were doing is 'shop lifting'.
Four weeks ago I was in the same B&Q and the lady gave me a bag saying that they were free if you had a number of items.
I cannot argue with your comment – if I’d taken a plastic bag without paying it would indeed have been shop lifting (if they’re not free if you have a number of items) - I would have been in the wrong and I am grateful that the tight bastards gave me the opportunity to pay rather than calling in the Flying Squad.
Did i read this right?
you purchase the goods and then had to purchase the bag, which card did you use to purchase the 5p bag, hopefully it was a debit card, then B&Q lost 45p and the bag, as the transaction charge is around 50p. If I park I always pay with Debit cards
Hello WasteAccountant
If what you say is true I think I'll go to B&Q for thee sole purpose of buying another 5 pence bag with my Visa Debit on Monday.
I think the technical term for what he was doing is 'shopping lifting' - not the same thing.
I was given a free bag on Thursday but chose to bite my nose off to spite my face and declined the offer.
