Go back with the receipt, get a refund. Then buy it again!
Stick to your principles!
Then as you walk out the door, look back and blow a raspberry

I think it's more reasonable to assume, considering what he bought, that it's quite likely he has a flat tyre, and has potentially walked some distance from his car to get the equipment to fix it...
(Yes I'm well aware the OP has stated he walked from work, but just because he was buying car stuff, doesn't mean his car is outside.)
No that's no excuse. I get asked if I want a bag even if I have just one item that fits in my pocket.

That is the reason why people in retail get treated like garbage. Do you have to make it bad for the rest of us who want to provide good customer service?Yup i've done that so many times. And it drives them insane. Don't matter what store it is. They all bloody hate it.
I love it when i do it, make sure i give them right big fat smile
Edit: Sorry I thought you worked in retail

If you had asked for a refund she would probably have told you to go to the customer service desk.
If it was going to be a real issue carrying them, then I would have asked for the Manager. I'm sure it's discretional and in those circumstances the cashier didn't bother to ask you first, which I'm sure they should have done.
I understand the idea behind charging for carrier bags from the environmental point of view, but it often feels like its a way for a retailer to make a little extra. Plus I personally always recycle my carrier bags anyway.

First of all, there's nothing stopping us putting through a transaction for 2p on a card. Second, she's obviously a ****. Thirdly, what stores she in? I'll give her a phone haha.

In my experience Halfords staff are rubbish.
I once bought a bike from Halfords when I was 15/16. Got it all fitted and ajusted in shop by a 'trained member of staff' and as was their guarantee for it all to be in working order before it left the shop, I decided to ride the bike the 4 miles home... on my way down quite a steep hill the pedals fell off and the handlebars came away in my hands... This sent me careening over a wall and into into a flower bed... the owners of which found me entangled some 10 minutes later in the remains of my 'bike'.

I have had exactly the same in Halfords! Except that it was obviously far too much to carry, and I was paying with Credit Card.
Ask for a refund and leave the lot on the counter.
Done the same thing in Morrisons when they ID's me for a bottle of whisky, spent well over £100 on the weekly shop. Told them i had no ID on me, they said i couldnt have the bottle. So i said i wont have any of it then and walked off.
These shops really need to learn how to treat people like individuals and stop acting like robots.

Seeing as I have no idea how old you are, if you clearly look over 18/21/25/whatever theyve made up now, then im right behind you on that one.
That is completely different.....

Sorry it's the law and I don't fancy being responsible for a large fine because I wasn't doing my job.
