New World Votes of Thanks and Shame
First a huge shout to the dedicated team at Devonport New World, smiling, patient and committed throughout these difficult times :-)
Sadly the same cannot be said for all the customers. This afternoon I was waiting in the aisle for the person ahead and an old lady waited patiently behind me. When not one but three women pushed past her and then me and then the person stacking the shelf with their trolleys. On challenging the last person, she said she wanted to get to the end of the aisle. Presumably she thought the rest of us had come out to kill time by spending the afternoon gazing at shelves! The old lady behind me said, in a resigned tone, 'that is why I have to wear a mask'. :-(
If you are in such a rush that you can't respect others then please don't go to the shop. Maybe you won't catch or spread Covid-19 but you will be the reason we stay in lockdown. If you are too ignorant to understand 2 metres or a one-way arrow on the floor then just pretend you are still in the 4x4 you left in the car park.
I urge the huge majority of decent shoppers to be brave and take these people to task - to support the staff who continue to work for the good of all of us.
