At all of Sainsburys, Asda and Morrisons I've regularly placed my own

The first question Tesco ask you is "Have you brought your own bag", at
which point you can put it on the bagging area and it re-calibrates the
weighing scales.

I must admit to not having noticed that - I thought the question came up
just before payment and was linked to green incentives. But my local Tesco
often has the sound turned off and I just use the machines on autopilot.


Isn't there an option where you can tell the computer that you brought
your own bag, though?
