It's what I have always said.  The biggest danger is in the supermarket.  That's why I abandoned Waitrose, at the beginning of lock down, because they were very slow to put good systems in place.  Much better now though.

It's also why I am comfortable being out and out in the fresh air.  Much safer and so good for mental health.

I still regularly see children fully sitting in shopping trolleys (not in the part meant for toddler) and the supermarket staff don't say anything.  I know the staff need say so from above but why is it allowed especially with the virus.

Children in supermarkets have always been a problem.  Allowing them to to ride scooters in store particularly bugs me.

The worst though is the tongs for cakes etc.,  I stopped using them when I twice saw parents allowing their babies/toddlers to suck them. Uck.  >:(

 :o

Apparently the Staff get abuse if they ask parents 'not to ...... ' so I to in all guns blazing.  I had it out with a parent several years ago whose child was standing in a trolley.  Warned her that many children fall from trolleys across the UK and not all go home, many end up in coffins or worse.  A while later she came up and told me 'sorry, I've thought about what you said' so I explained that I worked for a head injury consultant.

I as a Manager would ask shoppers to leave mobiles, scooters, kids, dogs, buggies outside  ;D

There was a manager saying please remember to distance, but people were just grabbing stuff and putting it in their baskets, then  they would go through what they'd got & put back what they didn't want, shocking! I was listening to the radio earlier and there was a leading scientist saying please still be careful the uk government easing it too soon :sigh:

Shoppers are asked to take and stick to a list.  DH was picking stuff up and putting back in a garden centre yesterday .......  >:(  :kick: even with a list.

I think that the staff should fetch items off the shelves that they are selecting for isolators etc. after store is shut!

I also think that shopping deliveries should be for the vulnerable  & isolaters too. We had a call from the shielding team asking if my husband needed shopping, meds etc, I said I can do it, please give the help to someone who needs it and doesn't have anyone to do it for them.

Better that someone contacts the public in case they require assistance.  Peoples' situations alter on a daily basis and it would be dreadful for anyone to be missed.

That's the fault of the Store Penguin
I feel deprived, we don't have Store Penguin. Not enough fish here?  :)
