COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

Your area is less populated than down here. Nevertheless you would expect anywhere to stick to the rules and my view is some are making very little effort to stay home.

Morrisons will bar customers who refuse to wear face coverings from its shops amid rising coronavirus infections.
From Monday, shoppers who refuse to wear face masks offered by staff will not be allowed inside, unless they are medically exempt.
The announcement comes amid concerns that social distancing measures are not being adhered to in supermarkets.

I have all the major supermarkets in my local area and none operate a one way system once you are inside the store however, for some reason all of them operate a one door in and another door out!

Seems fair enough but I don't know how the door staff could determine. I don't see any in our stores without a mask or shield and so no obvious problem here

I can't see many who who risk the aprovmbiun 

You can say that again David 

No I can't spell it either

Regarding supermarkets (the big ones), given that they are earning vast sums of money one way or another at the moment, I don’t think it would be too much to expect them to employ one or two dedicated persons whose sole role is to ask those who aren’t complying with masks and social distancing to be a bit more aware. Nothing heavy, just advice, but it takes the stress off staff and customers who do comply. Our local Aldi had such a member of staff outside during the first lockdown, making sure things ran as smoothly and safely as possible, queuing spaces, using masks properly, no big groups going round together. Multi lingual as well, which helped greatly..... It was by far the safest place to shop at one point. I have seen door monitors, one at the Morrison’s I stepped into the other day, but a couple of properly placed barriers could have done virtually the same job. Unless he was counting of course....👍

Our Asda does have a one-way system. It is mostly adhered to except in sensible situations not to. I regularly pick up a 30 box of diet cokes. If I go a third of the way down the empty alley and turn trolley to load I , or anybody else doing so, harms nobody. It just so happens that this particular isle is very little used. There are a couple of items that I require which are on end of isles and I pass nobody. 

I think that similar large stores here have similar door staff. 

"Our Asda does have a one-way system. It is mostly adhered to except in sensible situations not to."  

Sorry, but doesn't that just illustrate exactly the problem? Who decides when it is sensible not to adhere to a one-way system which the supermarket have, presumably, gone to great lengths to establish for the safety of all customers?
