Primark's bag fee angers customers in the UK

Primark will begin charging customers 15p for paper shopping bags starting May 12, sparking customer dissatisfaction. The new policy, announced by the retailer, aims to reduce single-use waste and encourage reusable bag usage. Customers expressed frustration, with some questioning the change and its environmental impact, while others suggested bringing their own bags. Primark stated the bags are made from recycled materials, but the fee is intended to further reduce waste. Reusable bags will be available for purchase, and some customers are already expressing their disappointment on social media.
