They have a lady on the door counting who goes in. She was stood talking to someone as I was walking past and I heard her say "we are allowed 600 in at once, we don't get near that often though" A relatively small supermarket can have 600 people in it with zero social distancing during lockdown but a restaurant can't have 1 person in the entire building?
There's about 50 queuing outside Argos down Harborough Hill, they only let around two inside that big store at a time - overkill at its best. I'll pick my click and collect up tomorrow, I'm not freezing my nuts off outside.
The majority but not all. To give a better comparison then 600 in Morrisons full lockdown, 2000 in tier 2 Wembley. Both able to wear masks, one much much larger and open air.
But yet again the latest cases in Barnsley relate to supermarket shopping, Stairfoot this time. I doubt that given these outbreaks happen in compulsory masked areas, masks are the issue.
Masks themselves are not an issue. The feeling of invincibility that masks create is a huge issue that people will not accept for some reason
You couldn't get 600 in Morrison's Ecclesfield if they did a shoulder to shoulder human chain. Gossip gets half the way around the world before the truth has time to get it's socks on.
I wonder why the lady on the door counting the people into the store was lying then. That's odd. You would also piss that number in there.
@SuperTyke How big would it need to be in square metres, minus the area taken up by shelving and tills to get 600 in there safely and have 2m distance all round?
Word to the wise, old man. I ordered a set of headphones last Friday. Three trips down there and a queue of 50-100 yards each time. And they weren't progressing the queue very much. The good news is that it's extremely easy to cancel your order online even before you've collected it. I've now ordered them from Amazon. Life's too short.
I don't know. They don't have 2m distance all round though do they. I know one thing though it is considerably more than double the size of a local play area which has a capacity of 300
