To be honest I’ve not found it so bad at Sainsbury’s on Claywheels Lane,or Tesco Infirmary Road. Perhaps I have just picked good times. Despite a member of staff on the door telling you about the one way system and big blue arrows on the floor, you still get the odd one or two who seem oblivious. I saw one bloke come down an aisle the wrong way for one item this morning at Tesco. He was putting his life at risk for a packet of custard creams.

kaytie   11 #434 Posted April 23, 2020 Have only shopped at the local Sainsbury's and Co-Op since this all kicked off, but will have to drive to Tesco soon as the aforementioned are pretty dire on choice/availability ( still a lot of empty shelves). Can anyone advise which of Infirmary Road and the massive Tesco en route to Attercliffe are best re lack of queues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Lex Luthor   10 #435 Posted April 23, 2020 When we've seen the footage from supermarkets in Italy, the supermarkets are using a pressure spray (presumably with a bleach solution?) to sanitize the trollies before each customer takes one. They've been doing this for months now. Why aren't any of our supermarkets doing this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Why aren't any of our supermarkets doing this? M&S on Fargate are continually wiping down trolleys in front of customers, just after they have been used & returning them to nearer the main entrance & Waitrose on Ecclesall Road, they do the same outside the store as customers are queuing up to enter.  Both stores have been doing this since the start of social distancing as far as I know? Edited April 23, 2020 by Baron99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I heard of another supermarket giving the trolley to the customer and then giving the customer something to wipe the trolley handle with. Is that similar to what is happening at Sainsbury's?   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

pintor   32 #440 Posted April 24, 2020 Went to Morrisons last week and queued outside, then once inside when you'd done your shop had to queue from one end where a lady with a flag told you to wait while a till was clear, then you had to go to another lady who was wearing a helmet and visor, then told to stand in a taped off area and put your goods on conveyor, then walk through to other side of till to pack goods. Went to a different Morrisons yesterday, joined queue outside, one table with spray and paper towels to wipe your trolley, did my shop, most tills open as normal, just a partition between girl on till and myself. Wonder why the stores didn't have the same set up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
