I was shopping in SM hypermarket 6pm - my usual grocery purchase is P9, 000 - when it was my turn to pay in the counter the cashier told me that I have to pay P3 per plastic bag. I was surprised because there was no poster nor radio spiel about the additional charge. So I left my groceries because I felt cheated.

No where in the world have I ever heard or encountered a grocery charging for plastic bags! For me it is taking advantage of customers because aside from the margin that they make on groceries they are so greedy to make money on the plastic bags - wherein this should be free for customers.

I will not go back to shop in SM hypermarket or any SM grocery because they taking advantage of their customers. I hope this complaint will reach the highest executive for him to know that the head of the grocery is crooked and manipulative.
