All very civilised
The car got a run today, not very far, to the big Tesco at the retail park. I had a couple of vouchers that needed using before the end of the month, and I was curious to see how social distancing was working there. I went about 1pm. The roads were quiet, the car park was not very busy so that was a good sign, there was a queue but it wasn't very long. Most people kept their distance outside and inside the store.The system was the same as the little Tesco, follow the arrows, follow the one way markings. I had to keep reminding myself to look down. I found I was having to go down aisles which I wouldn't normally go down because there was nothing there that I wanted. Weave my way gently through them trying not to inconvenience other people who were browsing. I suppose others had the same problem with me as I was searching the shelves for exactly what I wanted. Woe betide if you forget something and have to backtrack, or go round the circuit again.
The shop was quiet for a Friday afternoon which surprised me. I did think about putting off the trip until the evening, but I had run out of Mayze's favourite food, so I decided to go for it. It was all very orderly, plenty of room, people were politely avoiding each other.
I spent more that I normally would have done, mainly because everything is more expensive than Aldi. There were some yellow stickers but I was too early for the third and last markdown. I think if I need to save money it will be a matter of going there for 7pm to get the yellow stickers, or going to Aldi at a time to suit me.
Going up and down every aisle means the temptation is there to stop and browse and pick something up which you wouldn't normally buy. Very crafty tactic to get more sales.
There was plenty of staff available making sure things ran smoothly, supervising, watching, and guiding you towards things you couldn't find. A man stood at the end of an aisle in the middle of the shop with a big lollipop sign like he was helping you to cross the road. He was pointing the way towards the checkouts. Another staff member was at the other end telling you which checkout number to go to. No picking out your favourite checkout person, the one you usually have a natter with. Plastic guards protect the staff member operating the till.
There was no crush to get to the best till with the shortest queue, none of that. You weren't allowed to go forward until there was a till person free to serve you.
I think I could get used to this, I like social distancing. It was well organised.
There's a party going on in a garden round the corner from me. Sounds like a karaoke, some awful singing. I was doing some weeding but had to come in. I shall wait till it's dark before I go out for my walk around the village.
Strange having a Bank Holiday on a Friday. I am getting lost with the days.
