Tesco's decision to charge for something that used to be free has angered many.

In a move to promote sustainability and reduce plastic waste, Tesco, the UK's largest supermarket chain, has introduced a new charge for clothes hangers. This means that if you purchase an item from Tesco, you will have the option to either pay an additional 10p for a hanger or leave it in the store to be reused. The trial is currently being implemented in select stores that sell the F&F clothing line.

While the intention behind this change is noble, it has left many shoppers feeling frustrated. Some have even called it "pathetic" and a "sneaky charge" that was not clearly communicated to customers. One shopper shared their experience on the Tesco subreddit, expressing their surprise at being charged for a hanger when they had not seen any signs or notifications about it in the store.

However, not all shoppers are against the new charge. Some have pointed out that it is a small step towards reducing plastic waste and that if Tesco can reuse the hangers, it will ultimately benefit the planet. In fact, Tesco has already seen an increase in the number of hangers being reused since the trial began.

This change is just one of the many recent developments in the supermarket industry. Morrisons has extended their quiet hours to accommodate those who struggle with overstimulation, Aldi has introduced InPost lockers for convenient order collection and returns, and Coop has expanded their loyalty program to include online purchases.

While some shoppers may not be happy with the new charge for hangers, it is important to remember that it is just a trial and the ultimate goal is to reduce waste and promote sustainability. So, the next time you shop at Tesco, consider leaving the hangers in-store to do your part in protecting the planet. After all, every little step counts.
