Chatting to the manager of one of the small supermarkets here this afternoon, whilst waiting to pick up a C19 Support Group delivery, he reckoned that the one way system they have introduced has INCREASED sales, since it has forced people to walk all the aisles, so they are making spontanious additional purchases, even if it is only a packet of sweets or a bar of chocolate.
That does not surprise me, to be honest. I noticed a supermarket near me who had cleverly used displays of bedding plants and gardening supplies as queue 'barriers'. Captive audience I suppose...
My challenge now is the perspex screens. I am slightly hard of hearing and really struggle to hear the staff member from behind a sheet of plastic. This is much worse if there is background noise e.g. music playing in the shop.
