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). He had intended to purchase some necessities, but later found out that no plastic bags would be provided at checkout. Noticing plastic bags at the counter, Li tried asking if he could purchase the bags from the store. However, the shop's staff reportedly refused, explaining that it was a new regulation for them. «I asked about when these new regulations were introduced and why there was no notice,» Li told Shin Min. «The staff member hesitated at first before admitting that the regulations were only just introduced a day ago.» Li ultimately put his purchases into his own bag before leaving the shop, but also expressed dissatisfaction with the sudden change in regulations that left some customers uninformed.
