Waitrose mate. My local one is highly organised. Everything is wiped. Hardly Singapore but less of a death trap than my local Tesco.
I think Waitrose clientele mostly got C19 early (from their kids going on school ski trips). Now their guilt, as vectors for a pandemic, manifests in respect for personal space, some masks and general good manners.
There are also a some amazing deals on Italian wines right now.

No Waitrose in a five mile radius of me... Coop with a great(?) deal on 24 packs of Tennents or Lidl with some disappointing cut price Barolo but a free spurt of hand sanitizer at the door?
Sounds like I should shuffle off over to the nice side of town and luxuriate in the virus free civility of Waitrose next time!

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...
