I thought that too they were very quick to drop the rules which I personally think should still do them to be on the safe side

In my local one, even though the arrows have gone nearly everyone still follows the one way system, more so since face coverings were introduced indoors, people don't like facing each other which is a good thing of course

You’d think after 6 months people would know to sanitise before entering as part of normal behaviour, rather than being told. As for arrows they weren’t adhered to from day one or the markings on the floor to keep your distance

I have sanitiser in my bag that I use because it's better for my skin than some other ones. How do you know others aren't doing that?

Also if you're washing your hands after it really shouldn't be a issue

Some of the sanitiser that's dotted around places for customers is vile and I've found quite soapy/slippery (petrol station in particular). On the very odd occasion I've been to the supermarket, very few have been cleaning trollies/baskets, although some have then chucked their used tissue/wipes in the stack of baskets

If you avoid the store sanitiser which is often a sticky pump you have to touch then you avoid touching something that everyone else has fingered. My local Sainsbury's has a grim sanitiser pump that isn't clean. Only touch the till the trolley and things you want and you limit exposure.

yep carry my own use on the way in and on leaving before i get in my car if someone comes too close i remind them of social distance when they start to argue i tell them what i do for work the soon shut up and walk away ...things have become too relaxed i agree with mask but they have caused people to no longer social distance and its this that is the most important ..... we are already panicking in the background with hospitals/social care with testing becoming a bit of a mess ...think its going to be a long horrible winter..

and we are in the southwest i cant begin to think how workers in health are coping up north they at the moment are worth there weight in gold

It's likely a move to increase profits, as most of the supermarkets have been on a drive to reduce staff costs for several years. They generally seem to have too few staff to get much, if any, assistance.

The supermarkets have been 2 of the big winners of this epidemic - shorter hours, fewer staff, boosts to online shopping, without store overheads, whilst their profits have had very healthy increases. Very different to many business sectors.

Their focus is sadly too much on the bottom line. Unlike restaurants, pubs etc that were shut for months and still face restrictions when local lockdowns threaten to close them earlier or altogether, the supermarkets have none of that.

Sure, local inspections may be imposed for some rule breaking but it's a far easier life than hospitality, from whom they have stolen some of this years takings.

People are generally well behaved near to me but some odd folk may suddenly be found inches from you, whilst not paying attention - they're the minority. Most seem to be using hand clearing on the way in, except in express convenience places.

Supermarkets like all businesses need to control costs, covid 19 did lead to some record sales in the early weeks, however that level of spending didnt last forever, dont underestimate the costs covid has had. Some of the costs are obvious like the extra staff to fill shelves and extra guards to man doors but there are alot of other things that will have cost more than people realise like sourcing 1000s of screens at short notice.. the eye watering costs of PPE and sanitiser when half the world are all trying to buy up the same things. Sourcing extra stock at short notice, my company sourced a extra delivery company to help get stock into stores, the costs of self isolating/shielding staff and the staff bonuses that were given. the list goes on. It's hardly the supermarkets fault that other businesses were closed.

hiding from cock pics.

I know to sanitize my hands I don't need somebody on the door to tell me.

Maybe in the beginning it was necessary in case people forgot but now it has become a habit.

To me now it's kind of like washing my hands after I've used the bathroom, I just do it as a matter of course

Exactly this.... Ffs... When will people realise its their responsibility to take care of their germs and hygiene, not the shop, not the govt, not everyone else. Your hands your face, wash them, cover it... Stay safe. When did we become so dependent on others to blame for our own laziness and idiocy.?

But you immediately sanitise your hands so what's the problem.

You sound like the kind of person who buys that electric soap pump thing, when you only touch the manual version prior to washing your hands.

my local supermarket now, does no sanitiser, no cleaning of trolleys, no one way system. They seem to think that masks are the be all and end all and, we are now all safe as long as we have all a face covering on. Wake up tesco

Or perhaps they think that's it's the customers responsibility to think for themselves? Wake up.... Love it.

It's totally not the fault of supermarkets that other stores were closed but they, by and large, have had good benefits from this epidemic. Their staff have likely paid the bigger cost, due to additional stress and health risks. I thought that the larger companies had benefitted from increased turnover and profits, until a couple of weeks ago. That's a great run, when Christmas may typically be the time for such elevated performance. They've generally performed really well, through horrendous times.

My local has reintroduced queueing, which has helped people to calm down a bit, increasing their social distancing from others.
