The concept of keeping your distance etc doesn't seem to be catching on in shops. Everyone rushing to buy stuff and people serving them must be now the main source of spreading the virus?
As an example in my local greengrocer which has a small interior people were only 50 cm apart at best and then when paying the proprietors were getting very close, helping you pack etc. Crazy
Surely stronger instruction, and follow up needed here.

3 local shops where I am.

2 are just trading as normal with a 2 item restriction in place, that kind of thing, with people as you describe all breathing over each other and the shelves.

The 3rd shop was entirely different. Staff members standing outside, gloved up and taking orders from people outside the store, collecting the items themselves. Constantly wiping down, constantly cleaning.

Very good impression of how it should be done and in stark contrast to the others.

Stupidity of some people by SouthBucksBlue 21 Mar 2020 12:56
In town this morning (Hertfordshire) and lots of people on the high street for the Saturday fresh produce market. Long queues, no panic buying by the look of it but so many people are just not getting the message. Clusters of animated people chatting and laughing but so close to each other. If some of them are infected (which without a doubt some are) the others are going to end up at least carrying it.
People are not getting the message about social distancing.
The country needs an education campaign and fast.

If we’re ever back to normality people will remember this.

Just been to Bookers for more take away bits. Rammed but with household rather than business shoppers. No restrictions, no wiping down trolley handles, I won’t go back just order online now.

That's terrible policy.

Why aren't these firms taking more responsibility.

They're certainly happy to take the money, which is how they seems to approaching it; as an opportunity rather than a crisis.
