Tesco was just as bad. From the bottom of the escalators to the front door, back along the length of the car park then back round the uncovered bit. I tried Morrisons, saw the queue so got back in the car then left, so tried Tesco and had learned my lesson so did a quick once round in the car to see how bad it was before deciding to go back another time.
I'm.in a queue right now.. it's ok but I had a right go at this woman.. mask and gloves on.. put the trolley back and then slung her gloves Into the empty trolley.. I shouted at her as she walked away and she walked back and took them back to her car...

Daft thing is I went to Hendersons for a sandwich and got all my meat then the paper shop further up for bread and a few beers..I’m not queuing like.
I just live out the back of Tesco and it’s been canny about 5 o clock time.

Aldi @ Pelaw, queue round the car park. Well spaced out. Security on the door. Beggar in car park is now a permanent fixture. Been there a few days now according to Mrs R, and a very nice car right next to him every time my missus has passed. In a spot that is only ever used when car park is packed. Bit suspicious that.
Liddl, just over the road, much shorter queue, because they are about 2 ft apart.

Our local Co-op is open all over the Easter weekend.
It surprised me as I always thought that Easter Sunday was a shutdown akin to Christmas Day.

They have no right or business to search anyone’s shopping bags or trolley. If they even ask, they should be told to mind their own business.
I can’t imagine that this will happen though.

The supermarkets are laughing really. When I was Morrisons earlier there was loads of people buying plants, yet the garden centres aren't allowed to open. I think opening the garden centres this weekend would have been a good idea as it reduces the amount of people going to the supermarket for plants. Or should the only be allowed to sell groceries?Police chief warns officers might search shopping or impose roadblocks to stop lockdown flouters

Yeah probs want
the very fact you bought the item from a shop that is by law deemed essential, means the item is essential
I worry this type of rhetoric is going to increase panic buying again
Plus they get a business rates holiday for 12 months
they are going to absolutely rake it in

All the big supermarkets announced at least a 20% rise in profit in March.

I spent the last few weeks making big batches of chilli, curry, soups and dals and freezing them down in smaller portions. So although I should have enough to eat I have a worying lack of alcohol. I've got a few boxes od cuppa soups which will have to do.
Yep, tbh I am not knocking them like, just feels imbalanced

After most issuing profit warnings earlier in the year.
Tesco in particular are taking the piss.
just as our reliance on supermarkets was beginning to wane they get another helping hand.

This is incredible & disgusting, my cousin works at Asda in South Shields & they are collecting 40-50 pairs of rubber gloves from the car park every day.
