They should be - email below from yesterday....


I wanted to update you on everything we are doing to keep you and our colleagues safe when you shop with us.


From today, everyone in England must wear a face covering when shopping or working in our stores, unless they are exempt.


Throughout the week we?ll be putting new signs and posters up in all of our stores and we will have greeters and security guards at the front of our supermarkets to support our colleagues as we help everyone get used to the new rules.


We continue to thoroughly clean trollies, baskets and checkouts and, as an extra precautionary measure, we have increased the fresh air circulating to make sure our stores are well-ventilated. We will of course also make sure there is plenty of hand sanitiser available as you come in and out of our shops.


We are doing everything we can to keep everyone safe this festive season ? thank you for your ongoing support.


Best wishes,


Simon

you have food in your stores that has no covering on it and is vunrable? its been like that for years even before covid . many times ive been in yours and other stores aka tesco sommerfields etc . with flys on the exposed bread rolls cakes etc ?

Was in today, didn't see any greeters at the door, but tbh not a problem for me. Didn't see anyone cleaning trollies, baskets or checkouts either.


Only saw this during second lockdown in Morrisons and that didn't last long there at the time.


What was noticeable was that the deli counters have now been removed and replaced with a "humunges" chilled wine fridge, hot takeaway heated section and a general quick food section (sandwiches, crisps, drinks etc).

During last lockdown, security staff at doors were reminding people to wear masks, One guy got very angry and was aggressive to staff and a few customers and said he was not going to wear a mask. He challenged everyone to make him and then said he was exempt.


I have seen a few people wearing lanyards saying that they were exempt for medical reasons- perhaps this should be mandatory for 'genuine' people.

Do Sainsbury's sell uncovered cakes? I'd always be very wary as you're really trusting people to have washed their hands before handling said cakes.


I've seen people pick them up and put them back down again.....


I don't like Sainsbury but I think they are all much the same - they don't pay their staff well enough to go above and beyond.


Waitrose is generally a bit better.

As for cleaning trolleys and the like - it is a good thing they do it but to be on the safe side, use alcohol gel after using them and/or wipe down yourself before use. Picking up Covid from a fomite deposited on a hard surface and then transferred to one's eye or nostril, etc. is unlikely, as it is mainly transferred from one person to another through breathing the infected person's exhaled breath at closer quarters (hence the need for space between people and good ventilation to dilute the concentration of virus particles).

You can buy these Lanyards online - no test that you are genuinely exempt. it's a self exemption test.

If you are medically excempt from wearing a mask.

You possibly for health reasons, need to wear it more than others,

I have asthma and carry lots of medication, and find masks a pain.

I cannot breathe, steam up, cant see etc.

But rather struggle with a mask than covid.

    • bizarre responses from everyone but Cancerian 🤷🏾‍♀️ As an LL resident surely a perfectly normal enquiry in that one might wish to know who to look out for if lawless/feral kids are wreaking havoc? any distinguishing marks on the perpetrators? presumably the objection is that a physical description might reveal the alleged culprits as non-white? (nothing else makes sense with this bourgeois over-sensitivity). same botched thinking that causes police descriptions of suspects on the loose to omit this info  (top way to protect the public / solve the crime) FYI i'm a mixed-race female and interested in THE TRUTH. hence, i want to protect myself & my family against criminals. so please DESCRIBE the physical appearance of criminals or suspected criminals to help to keep us safe. thankyou.  "underlying agenda... strange" 😂😂😂 strange agenda to wish to be safe in my community. well played 🤯   working the nightshift here & getting mildly obsessed/infuriated with the peculiar responses. someone please explain how wishing to be able to attempt to identify, physically, the perpetrator(s) of an alleged local assault is "strange", with an "agenda"? God help us. (wait... "God"? must be a far-right religious maniac) "Unless there were distinctive features such as unusual clothing, how is that going to identify them"... green & purple mohican with accompanying buffalo 🦬 horns through the nose might do it; or simply hairstyle, skin colour, sartorial outfit... 🤔 "and even if it did, what would be the point, without photographic evidence that they had done anything wrong?" eyewitness reports? 😏    
    • Unless they were wearing school uniform with name tags otherwise children do change their clothes you know. 
    • I'd also recommend Silvano for anyone in the area looking to learn automatic, having just passed first time with 5 minors. He's a very patient teacher and ensured I learned how to drive safely above all. 
    • You don't need to do the research. I had to know the numbers as a TV buyer. I analysed the potential advertising revenue and Channel Four didn't cover their costs. They had some nice 'Channel Four' signs when someone hit the ropes but, In all honesty, a lot a potential revenue was lost because most old knackers were pissed off because they couldn't perve at Carol Vorderman on 'Countdown'.       Sorry, cross-post. I was replying to Malumbu. Give me a minute, if you will. I listened to the first two sessions (today) on TMS and popped down to the pub for the evening one.   I do miss the days of Peter West, Richie Benaud and Tom Graveney on BBC2.   But, the BBC are at least putting on 'Today At The Test' on at around 7pm instead of after midnight.   And it was on the 10pm news.
