Used a Tesco yesterday, very well organised. Queued for 10 minutes, only letting a few in at a time, so not many people in there,so it was easy to keep your distance. Got everything I wanted, apart from the elusive toilet roll  |

I went and did shopping for parents & grandparents last night. Tesco & Asda were both operating a "one out one in" policy, the shops were both fairly well stocked and I got almost everything required from both shopping lists.

Hubby needs to go shopping while I sit here shielding. He was planning to go after work but it looks like another 11-12 hour day at work, pounding the streets of coventry to deliver pointless junk mail. He really doesn’t want to have to queue for ages after such a long day just to get in but unfortunately, it looks like he has no choice. There are no delivery slots available at all |

I don't normally shop in Aldi but as Morrisons is like a war zone went to Aldi it's got every thing other than pasta some things are limited....but why any one would want any long life milk ever never mind 4 bottles of the dirty stuff.... cows haven't stopped been milked twice a day and milk men will bring it to your house. |

The few milk delivery companies that are left have stopped taking on new customers due to demand. People are buying long life because if they have to self isolate, it will keep them going. |

I do sometimes forget people live in built up places with high demand, I'm very rural so sometimes live in my own bubble probably bit ignorant of me after all horrid milk in tea is better than no tea. |

"Think they should have a queue system like the theme parks and able to buy a fast track ticket"
Thank god Ryanair don’t run our supermarkets , they would charge you for the baskets and trolleys, but guess priority checkouts sound good |

Oh dear. I think it depends when you go. I go about 11ish, when there aren't so many around

Ive just got back from Sainsbury's. Had to queue for 30 mins, they were only letting 150 in at a time and they'd had a surge of people at the tills so they closed the doors until it settled down.
Stick levels were generally ok. |

Would be better if people didn't shop in pairs, Aldi was only letting a certain number in. So two singles had to leave to let a couple in. Does it really take two of you? One could always sit in the car if you need company during the journey |

Only started wearing a mask on monday to go out,as I thought I'd get started at too much. Wish I had started earlier as no one gives a bugger and since monday I am seeing more and more people wearing them |

Exactly they did the same in China.
Seemed to have worked.
Well only one person was allowed to go out |

By pairs I meant couples, but I'm sure if kids were old enough to stay in the car with their phones they'd be happier  |

think if they are old enough to be left in the car... they would be old enough to be left at home |

By law not old enough to stay at home for the 2-3 hours we are out.... we walk there and back so can’t leave them locked in a car either |

Most people I've found are good humoured although a lot of us are scared.

I was at Aldi today & felt like I was the only one that gave a fuck about distancing. There was a security dude at the entrance who seemed more concerned about chatting than trying to limit customers. There is no way that this is only going to last for 3 weeks. |

I went to Tesco today and I didn't get out of the car because I saw people queuing halfway around the car park.
I ended up getting all I needed from Home Bargains and no queuing. |

Same at Asda yesterday. The queue was insane, looping around the car park several times. I just drove off. |

I went to Morrisons after 9am and all was fine, no queue, nearly everything was on the shelves apart from they only had the most luxury toilet paper brand. Also only packs of sugar reduced naked beans or single tins, and restrictions so I bought two of the fridge vat tubs for the first time x |

Our supermarkets are open 8-8 now, no extended opening hours. |
