TikToker furious Best Buy made him pay 11 cents to bag $3,200 worth of items TikTok\/mattplappA TikToker is going viral for calling out Best Buy after the company charged him 11 cents for a plastic bag after he already spent $3,200 on goods at the store. To help the environment, many places and governments have pushed consumers to pay extra for plastic bags, but the way it\u2019s being implemented really ticked off TikToker Matt Plapp. In a video making rounds on the platform, the Plapp and his friend were leaving Best Buy with the camera rolling while they explained the poor customer service they received at checkout. \u201cThis is us carrying $3,200 in gear out of Best Buy,\u201d he explained. \u201cNo bag! Because after we paid, we were told it\u2019s 11 cents for a bag. Okay, thanks Best Buy!\u201d Sure enough, both he and his friend were stuck carrying their goods and the feedback to the clip has resulted in quite a mixed reaction. TikTok responds after Best Buy customer slams plastic bag policy In the comments, the TikToker was accused of being cheap for not paying the 11 cents with some saying he should bring his own bags if he can\u2019t afford them. \u201cSo the system works, you\u2019re using less bags?\u201d one asked. \u201cNot really Best Buy\u2019s fault and most people carry a reusable bag if it\u2019s that big of an inconvenience for them,\u201d another said. (click here if TikTok fails to load) Plapp, however, held his ground that it was the store\u2019s policy and not his state\u2019s: \u201cCrazy states like California have [implemented a bag tax], but this is Kentucky and it doesn\u2019t happen here, or didn\u2019t before Best Buy.\u201d In a statement to The Daily Dot, the TikToker explained his issue isn\u2019t with plastic bags per se, but rather how Best Buy handled its policy. \u201cI have zero issue with them charging for bags. I pay for bags at businesses all the time. My point was that it wasn\u2019t mentioned until after we had already paid for the 5 items, which at that point I\u2019m not pulling my [credit card] out of my pocket to buy an 11-cent bag,\u201d he said. He went on to say that getting a bag should be standard practice when someone spends $3,200 on 5 items. Since being uploaded, the clip has been viewed nearly 400,000 times, showing that the plastic bags are quite a hot topic.
