I fucking despise humans at times. Yes, the one way system and the limit of people in the store should be helping, but as you say, you can't legislate for idiots being unable or unwilling to follow simple instructions for their own and others safety. I've found it a far more relaxing and rewarding experience to shop for fresh food at my local Butchers and Farm shop and use my small local shop for the necessities, it's a little more expensive but definitely worth it !!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea in principle but I'd be the person who got half way around and remembered that I'd forgotten something or missed something due to Tesco' usual habit of moving things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally IDGAF about the way the shops are, queuing etc. I can live with that. Probably for a long time if need be. Would like to be able to take the kids to see family though. They better keep the extra bed capacity for at least one weekend because I am actively planning on getting life threatening alcohol poisoning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said: “I saw two people running together, and I said, ‘you should be two metres apart’. One of them said, ‘It doesn’t apply to us, it’s only you oldies”. “Another person said, ‘I’m not getting off the path, it’s you who’s the problem’. It’s disgraceful.” The woman said she always tries to observe the distancing rule as she walks her dog in the Byes early in the morning, but runners often pass close to her on narrow pathways. She has stopped using the narrow bridge at the bottom of the Byes after too many incidents of joggers ignoring the two-metre rule there – one of whom ‘glowered’ at her when she asked them not to cross at the same time as her. She said: “They get their headphones on and they’re completely oblivious to everyone around them. “The virus has brought out the best and the worst in people. Some are totally irresponsible and selfish.” The panic that has been spread has lead to the irrational behaviour displayed by this 82 year old woman -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stepdaughter and granddaughter get us odds and ends as and when, but basically what we got today should last us until next week. (Might have to raid the freezer/cupboards for one meal but we're fairly well covered.) I was in predominantly for my parents. My dad hasn't been well and if my mum gets it it'll probably kill her off. Might leave it to my Mrs now though because I'm at breaking point with the stupidity of folk. 3 minutes ago, bennett said: Good idea in principle but I'd be the person who got half way around and remembered that I'd forgotten something or missed something due to Tesco' usual habit of moving things. The middle and end walkways are 'two way' though. It's only the main aisles that are in the system so you weave from one end of the shop to the next. Even if you forgot something you would just have to go to the end or middle walkway and go back to the aisle you want, or the next aisle and work back to it. It's an idiot proof system and folk using it incorrectly are either thick as pig shit or just complete c***s. I expect it's a 50/50 split tbf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkmenbashi Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Here in Belgium I believe I read the order is to be schools, then workplaces, then shops, then bars and restaurants alongside concerts and football matches. I believe is the planned order for ending the lockdown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect to see a great improvement over the next 6-8 weeks, if not sooner. If there is no or only marginal improvement over that time, there is no case for any restrictions as they clearly wouldn't be working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way of knowing if there's an improvement, as there isn't a control group of a situation without a lockdown to compare it to. For all we know, we could be sitting already at 3,000+ deaths a day without the restrictions already in place, and 500-odd is already a massive improvement. We just don't know. We certainly couldn't say the restrictions clearly wouldn't be working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fucking despise humans at times. Timing can help. I tend to go early if I need anything 7-8am. Phoned my Dad the other day and he goes at around 4pm. Early sometimes means not all stock is out. Later on seemed to be better stocked but the stock issue doesn't seem so bad now. Still get the odd dick and numb nut but they're thinner on the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If infections and deaths are still going up in 8 weeks from now, despite restrictions being in place for 2 weeks already, it quite clearly isn't working. I'm not saying that will happen btw, i don't beieve it will. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
