For the last 10 days we've got up early trying to arrange a time slot for either a Tesco or Asda delivery. They're aren't any, which forced us out today to shop at Tescos during the oldies 9 till 10am period. All nice and organised queuing outside with your trolley at 2 metres distancing. Once inside the store social distancing goes out the window, and only resumes when eventually you find the end of the checkout queue.
The only upside was that all the shopping items that we wanted, other than hand sanitizer, were available. Still, ok for a couple of weeks now :thumbup [size=78%], providing I haven't caught the lurgy from someone today[/size] :eek .
Yeah I've found the same in my local Tesco. Everything is by the book until you actually get in the nit s a free for all. Also added to the mix are a load of power mad "security guards" (out of work bouncers) that feel the need to try and pretend that they are actually in charge and occasionally block an aisle off because there are 3 people down it ??
The other thing that gets my goat about the whole thing is that tesco has designated an hour to the elderly yet hardly any bastard has the decency to actually abide by it.
I got to mine at around 9.45 last friday and realised that it was the 'elderly hour' so I refrained from doing my shopping for 15 minutes and just browsed the clothes department (out of the way) but while I was there I noticed plenty of younger people just barging around with their trolleys, grabbing what they wanted and huffing when some older people were taking their time.
Honestly makes me feel sick how selfish some people can be
