Re: OT washing hands

Much as he means well, I can't see many people taking it to such obsessive levels. I now use alcohol gel whenever I get in the car other than when leaving home, and wash hands when returning home.

All the supermarkets are asking customers to keep their distance apart, I've not been into ASDA but I did notice they're the only one with a big banner at their car-park entrance saying don't come here if you have a cough or a temperature ...

What if it's shrink wrapped?

(At least no-one's going on about people using too much plastic these days.)

My local supermarket has put up plastic screens at the checkout BUT because some people are still using cash there has to be a gap in the panel to allow such transactions so the till operator is only a couple of feet awy from all customers using the checkout.

It's pointless anyway as in many stores all the queues of socially distanced trolleys are of necessity down aisles containing products which other shoppers are still retrieving from the shelves. Until stores empty all those shelves by possibly cutting their product ranges - which may or may not happen such measures are of limited effectiveness.

More especillay if they're simply seen as a pointless gesture.

The only possible reason Iceland could have for opening at 10.a.m - is staff off isolating. Yet shelf stacking is commonly regarded as requiring minimal skills and so temporary shelf stackers should be available by the hundred from temp agencies if needed, All their policy is achieveing is costing Iceland customers as *all* their stuff is available elsewhere at 8.a.m. if *slightly* more expensive,
