FairPrice Group will charge a flat 5-cent fee for each bag regardless of size, and across all its outlets, including convenience stores Cheers and FairPrice Xpress. For checkout counters, a barcode will be placed at the corner of every monitor of each station. Customers will have to scan the barcode for each plastic bag they take, and the payment will be reflected on their receipts.The disposable carrier bag charge will be reflected on the screens of self-checkout kiosks, and receipts.
Staff who man the self-checkout counters will also remind customers to scan the barcode if they fail to do so."Initially there a slight increase in the transaction time. But I think over time that will out... we do hope that the customers will hopefully understand this as we're just implementing a new system," he said.
