PLASTIC BAGS A JOKE, MANAGER'S ATTITUDE A DISGRACE

I bought some groceries at Checkers in the Cresta Shopping Centre yesterday. I asked for two plastic bags and was duly charged 40c each. The packer took two bags and ended up replacing them as their straps were broken. I still said to the cashier - is quality like this worth 40 cents? Just as I was outside the shop, the handle of the first bag broke and the bottom of the second bag split. I immediately went back to the cashier and asked for the bags to be replaced. She and the Packer just stared at me and I then asked to see the Manager. I do not know the Manager's name, but she was an older white lady. I explained the problem and she then said to the Packer "Why was I called, just replace the bags." I then said to her "How can you charge 40 cents per bag that are clearly of very poor quality". She then said that it must be a poor batch as they have never had this problem before. She promptly turn around and walked away. The entire exchange lasted 1 minute. I am highly disgusted that this is the way a client, who has a genuine complaint, is treated.
