Yeah, the big supermarkets are definitely best avoided if you can. I went for the first time in weeks on Friday. It was horrible. Sticking to small local shops from now on...
Mucker-
Problem with small shops is that it's still relatively bad and you have to go more often.
I've been done one mega shop that'll last us 10-14 days or so, and then top up on perishables (bread, veg, fruit, milk) after 5-7 days.
Still can't get Strong White Flour or Fast Acting Yeast for love nor money, but plenty of chopped toms in the supermarket today.

my local Coop looked like they were upping their game from the manager standing doing one-in-one-out whilst coughing everywhere, to briefly having a couple of staff wearing masks/gloves, but they seemingly dgaf anymore and it's resumed it's free-for-all dynamic so it doesn't seem to make much odds other than being a bit quieter if you choose your moment.
The structured queueing outside then going into the shop and abandoning all caution is just weird to me-if the Swedish model is trusting their citizens to do the right thing then the UK definitely can't do it without tasering a huge percentage of people repeatedly in the bollocks.
I always have my face covered and today some daft bint did that 'half-smile-oops-I'll-just-squeeze-by' thing then started coughing and I had to refrain myself from chucking her in the fucking freezer cabinet and jamming the door shut. Have some hypothermia with yer Covid, cow...

Went to shops earlier and was losing my shit at manky coughing bastards loping about without a fuck given.
The fact that people queue two meters apart then engage in scrums for a pint of milk just depresses the shit out of me. And that's before we get to the fucking wanks wearing disposable gloves that are practically giving themselves face massages every couple of minutes.
I don't know what they need to reign it in but they're obviously not getting it atm...
