COVID - general discussion - Temp Locked

Some of the smaller supermarkets have cleverly blocked off the ends of aisles, meaning that you have to follow a one way system for most of the way round. I doubt the larger ones could manage because of fire regs and getting more people out quickly. 

Aisle rage is quite funny when you encounter it, although it pays to keep a blank face so as not to escalate things. I got caught up in an incident with a shelf stacker, another woman shopper and me. We were all politely waiting to pass an unmasked trio hell bent on locating that night’s vodka of choice. We all got called “stupid effers “ because we chose not to push past. Ranted at for being polite🤷‍♀️

Length, not width obviously. It is a superstore and many aisles are 9 feet+ wide. Veg aisles far more.  I notice, now you mention width, that clothes washing products, freezer aisles and booze aisles are narrower. Thy do have less usage and I suppose that is the reason.

So are you saying that, if the first person stops at the first product then nobody overtakes until that persons continues ( who may then stop at the second product etc)

Nope I am indicating that an unmasked trio of potential p*ss heads, chose to verbally abuse three masked, polite individuals who couldn’t get past them. 

Like TammyG I am perfecting the Cersei Lannister eyebrow indication of displeasure at the moment. Mouth shut and masked, but the eyes are saying it all.
