3/5 Grumpy O. 2 years ago on Google
Joined
up.
Went
in
to
plod
about
the
store.
Wearing
my
mask.
Was
disheartened
upon
seeing
that
the
queue
for
the
tills
stretched
all
the
way
back
to
the
booze
section
-
that
is,
all
the
way
across
the
store.
Everyone
had
one
of
those
big
American
style
trolleys
(the
type
with
castoring
wheels
only
on
the
front,
which
makes
manoeuvring
rather
difficult
when
compared
to
the
usual
trolley
you
might
encounter
elsewhere
-
I
even
had
to
pick
up
the
rear
end
to
get
it
to
move
about
in
tight
confines)
which,
fortunately,
meant
that
for
the
most
part
when
queueing
we
maintained
a
form
of
social
distancing.
But
there
appeared
to
be
little
help
when
you
and
your
trolley
eventually
arrived
at
the
gap
to
where
the
tills
were
-
we
had
to
find
our
way
to
a
till
in
a
confined
space
crowded
with
other
fed
up
queueing
shoppers,
which
meant
(as
we
found
out
afterwards,
when
enjoying
refreshments
after
negotiating
the
tills)
the
till
furthest
from
the
gap
was
hardly
used
with
the
attending
member
of
staff
repeatedly
yelling
that
he
was
free,
that
customers
should
move
down.
I
need
to
give
the
place
another
go,
see
if
it
is
always
so
packed.
There
were
savings
to
be
made,
I
noticed,
with
things
like
bulk
buys,
but
when
it
was
things
that
I
knew
the
price
of
at,
say,
Asda,
it
did
prove
to
be
more
expensive;
a
30
pack
of
Diet
Coke
here
was
well
over
£10
although
it
frequently
fluctuates
between
£7.50-9.00
elsewhere.
Nice
hotdogs
though.
And
I
know
it
is
not
very
representative,
but...
the
fuel
price
on
the
day
I
went
was
proudly
displayed
as
3p
a
litre
more
than
I
paid
that
morning,
elsewhere.
But
the
shop
was
stuffed
with
(mainly)
unmasked
shoppers,
never
a
good
sign
at
times
like
these
I'm
afraid.
