  Giant staff at IMM made me pay 10cents on bring your own bag day.

  officially it says 'donate' 10 cents if you need a plastic bag but the staff insist i pay the 10 cents.

  when i question the staff about the word 'donate', it seems like that kaling dont know english.

  in the end, i decide not to buy anything.

   

  is there anyway i can get giant's management to comment on this stupid bring your own bag day campaign and the word 'donate'?

   

  i really hate bring your own bag day campaign. such an inconvenience for shoppers

  I suggest to boycott all shops participating in the campaign

  is there really an existing thread asking for the boycott of BYOBD?

  all i can find are neutral threads giving info on BYOBD or gay threads like
  BYOBD good - save the enviroment yay

  so what are your views on BYOBD?

  it think its an half ass effort. if saving the enviroment is so important, ban plastic bags out right.

  to me, it is just another stupid campaign where the plastic bags sellers still work as per normal and government give another excuse to grab our money

  boycott all shops involve in BYOBD

  well, usually I won't bring my own bag if I'm doing my groceries shopping at supermarkets but if I don't buy many items then I won't ask for the bag..

  Those businesses are makin use of the gobal warmin to make more $$$.

  Making use of "Save the Earth, Stop Gobal Warming" & come out with BYOBD.  Either u bring ur own bags (& save our costs) or pay extra for our company's plastic bags (& we get to earn that extra amt *evil sniggers*). 

  Well in my opinion, I wld bring my own bag (tat way i can "save the earth" AND save some extra cost).  At least i play my part for NOT using THEIR plastic bags. v
