People generally gave distance and the checkouts were well organised with 2M queue markers and distancing form the checkout staff who bagged your shopping while you waited at the packing shelf.


I was very surprised the supermarkets were so well organised. More so in this village where alot are a bit awkward. good to see people here behaving, apart from the teens in the groups.

No shit Sherlock. I provide support services to key workers. Do you need me to explain this to you?

If freight clearance stops, we starve. It's an essential service, which I support the operating of. Pack in the childish point scoring, it's tedious and shows you in a poor light.

I hadn't realised you were a member of the VCMCC too.


I'm no member of any club, I just don't like it when people, whoever they are attempt to bully other people, whilst displaying an appreciable level of hypocrisy. If, you were indeed sending a laptop to a key worker, then, you should be taking additional precautions. For example, did you sanitise the laptop before putting it in the package to send?

As for key workers, as I've already pointed out, I am one, so I have a good understanding of the risks, and what mitigations to take.

You'll never know chap, but I haven't worked for an employer for a decade and my fridge is quite full. On a side note,
I wonder what crowd control training Tesco gives their rank and file employees? And how they'd react when/if the queue
turns into a mob. It's all very easy to cope with that role when everyone's playing nice. I doubt they are adequately
equipped to handle any kind of resistance or aggro from the masses and it's irresponsible of Tesco to put non trained staff
potentially into harms way like that IMO. Security guards are cheap, (not that Tescos and others like them aren't creaming
it in at the moment and could easily afford them) available and what's more trained to deal with stuff like that. There must be
1000's of doormen not working at the moment with all the clubs and bars shut and it's a task far better suited to the likes of
them than a shelf stacker or till jockey.

Well there are thousands of supermarkets across the country and no stories of riots in any car parks yet.

That's nice.
Is it usually the case there that honesty is frowned upon?

mrs had someone start moaning when she offered to take someones shopping to their car the other day

the person in question had been pushed over in a supermarket and had broken ribs and a fractured wrist she was in quite a bit of pain but had to get some bits and pieces

mrs works for aldi and was on a check out at the time so offered to carry the bag of shopping for her

bloke two people behind starts mouthing off that he is in a rush and she shouldn't be getting off the till and she must be fucking joking, stupid bitch , etc etc,

manager was on next till turned round and said" well you will be in even more of a rush now as you are going to have to go to elsewere" and refused to serve him


manners cost nothing

That mouthy c**t could have done it whilst his trolley sat in line. Not like he had anything better to do is it.

Glad it cost him his shopping - sadly he won't have learned anything from it.

Good Thumbs Up

Hope it makes him think about his behaviour and be a nicer person - but in reality it'll probably just make him more bitter; tough thing to break is a sense of entitlement.

Remember the Chinese Doctor who blew the whistle on this, then was visited by China's secret police and suddenly apparently died of it shortly after?

There was a second Dr who was also trying to raise awareness early on who has now "disappeared". No one knows where she's gone....

The longer this goes on, the more I find myself disliking the Chinese government.

Nothing stopping you going food/pet/medical/hardware shopping on the bike, better & safer than using public transport


You said completely right buddy. It safe to shop using our own bike. Before Covid i haven't my own bike. I generally prefer Amazon for my most of shopping and get small stuff using public transport.

I recently purchased Schwinn Meridian Adult Trike as it was good for shopping. I struggle to finding a trusted bike transporting service due to covid. But after some forum results i know that these three are available trusted bike transported in my location.

https://www.bikeflights.com/
https://citizenshipper.com/motorcycle-transportation
https://www.sendmybag.com/bike-shipping

After checking best pricing for mu bike shipping, i place my shipment and get my bike with full safety.

I didn't go for amazon because i have some sort of doubt on their safety for Covid. As i of our neighbour got positive and he don't go anywhere and just order things from amazon.

Now i easily shop using my bike.

If i got any prob related to my bike then i will surly take your time.

You know this is a motorcycle forum, right? and it's UK based... right?

UK based does not matter. These forums are used by people from all sorts of places, including the USA, and the dislike of spammers seems universal.

HTH.

Well, it's also usually good to research if your spam will actually work on the forum you've gone to the effort of joining - So it's a triple miss in this case.

Oh... actually... you resurrected an old thread too... so it's a Quadruple miss! Rolling Eyes
