My experience hasn’t been of a ‘free for all inside’ and most, not all, supermarkets were quick to mark out two metre gaps and put up Perspex shields for till workers long before London Transport or the government followed suit.

The point of my post was that the advice isn’t as ‘clear as day’ at all. You suggest that the advice is that masks should be worn where social distancing isn’t possible but then say this should include shops where the queues to enter, the arrows on the floor, the two metre lines at the checkout etc are all there to enforce social distancing.

A combination of unclear, contradictory advice and stupid, selfish behaviour, as evidenced at Durdle Door and Dovedale (to name but two) this weekend, is a large part of the problem.
My local "corner supermarket" seems to have done everything right - perspex screens at checkout, a one way system through the aisles, little footprint markers indicating distancing and direction of travel, well ordered queues outside, decent door control. BUT, and you just know there has to be a but - the whole thing falls apart because people just ignore everything when they get inside. People are truly ****ing stupid. Wandering round in any direction, leaning over in front of you to grab something instead of waiting, sorting through stuff to find what they want, picking stuff up and putting it back. Just the sort of behaviour that would have been borderline OK 12 months ago, but now its just ludicrous. What does anyone have to do to educate people on the new behavioural norm.

There is no discernible pattern to this - its not just kids, or pensioners, or immigrants - its everyone, apart of course from me! & weeks in and nothing seems to have penetrated their skulls.

And in my "one customer at a time" corner shop, same thing. Someone else in the shop? Ill just go and stand right behind him in there. 5 autonomous people is the most I've seen in there at a time . And then one hapless **** went in and played the scratch card lottery at the counter for 10 minutes, lost all his money and wandered off without buying anything, leaving a queue of maybe 20 of us very pissed off customers without a word of apology.

You cant fix stupid
