First world banal problems - this is the future... 13:00 - May 15 with 1178 viewsbluelagos

So you go to the local shop, sign saying only 4 customers only, wait to be called in.

Only the usual shop member monitoring/inviting you in, isn't there. You are no 2 in the queue.

And 3 customers leave.

No 1 isn't moving, you suggest they may wish to enter but they are having none of it. The sign says wait, so they must obey the sign.

Do you go in?

No. Rude to even consider doing so.

How long would you wait before going in though? When there are people behind you, but the sign says wait to be allowed in...

The sign is there for a reason. Sticking your head in and asking if you can go in is acceptable.

I would ask about motorcycle queueing etiquette but I suspect you wouldn't like the way we do it ;-)

Our local Co-op allows 8 in at any one time. They only man the door when there 8 inside. The OP should enter straight away.

Do big fat people count as one or two people? Can two people under five feet each count as one person? Old slow moving people should count double too. Mobility scooters are clearly a big no no. If you think about it, are children really people anyway?

This is going to get complicated quickly.

Sounds like an opportunity to set up a bakery that serves two people at a time. We need to entrepreneurialise our way out of this crisis!

I did see that the Ipswich Star was prominently running with the story that McDonalds was reopening...

No doubt there will be a ticker tape parade along Hawthorn Drive to celebrate.

Sainsbury's had a sign the other day saying one 1 shopper per household. Single parents are soon going to have to leave their kids at home unattended or starve them to death.

Just tie 'em up outside like dogs.

See, there's another business opportunity. Get ahead of the game and begin the manufacture of Child Racks, or Child Crates, or whatever you want to call them. Pop a quid in like you do with the trolley and go shop in peace.

Went round Bury St Eds Sainsbury last evening, signs up about single shoppers only and inside were a family of four, wandering up and down, chatting, taking and then putting produce back on the shelves and blocking the aisles in general.

You think that is a problem. Sign outside a local store said “Only two people at a time can enter”.

I had to wait ages for someone else.
