A supermarket in Choa Chu Kang has left customers confused after refusing to provide plastic bags, even when the latter were willing to pay for them, Shin Min Daily News reported on Wednesday (Oct 30). Speaking with Shin Min, a shopper surnamed Li shared that he had visited the U Stars Supermarket outlet at Block 810A, Choa Chu Kang Ave 7 at 11pm last Saturday (Oct 26).
