Shopping in Aldi & Sainsburys earlier, Aldi guy on door telling customers only one member of household allowed, Sainsburys had staff on door & outside making sure people kept distance apart & only allowing so many customers in once others had left store.

Message getting thru at last, queue stretched down car park at Sainsburys mainly due to distance between shoppers, no where busy as last week but no pasta toilet roll disinfectant in sight, wine aisle nearly empty but managed to get hand soap.
 
We're limiting the amount coming in, one out one in, areas marked on floor for cleaning and also encouraging card payments. In case people are unaware they are increasing the contactless limit to £45 from 1st April.
 
My Pharmacy has gone from 5 people but 6 foot apart on Monday, to 1 at a time today. Though other half was picking up prescription item that was not available Monday, she took the slip at the door, so by the time he got in it was ready.
 
I had a Tesco delivery today, ordered last Friday and added to last evening as stuff became available. Only two problems - limited to three bags of Jelly Babies, and had to get gluten free custard creams. Oh well, onwards and upwards as folk come to realise that hens keep laying eggs.
 
Most of the stores have been posting on Facebook they are or have installed screens at tills, marked out floors to keep apart , and limiting number of people in the store.
