“I just expect people to have bags. Generally people completely get it but occasionally for something that’s breakable or it’s raining … well, we just deal with it. I’ve lent people tote bags before and they’ve brought them back!

“One thing we do have is the plastic covers that the vinyl comes in. I keep the records in them to display in the shop, and I offer them out to customers to re-use as some want them to keep their records clean. But if not – we re-use them here too.”
