You also don't need universal mask wearing to get to suppression - just because someone else is refusing to wear one doesn't mean that it still doesn't make a difference if you do.


And from a selfish perspective I still prefer my chances of avoiding the disease if I'm wearing a mask when someone infected without one sneezes near me - that potential risk reduction far minimizes the discomfort, much like seat belts really.

Yeh it’s the same as saying because some people drive over the speed limit why don’t we just stop having speed limits. Not everyone will follow the rules but it’s safer for some to than none.

No mate, it's not pointless.

I think staff on the shop floor who aren't behind a perspex screen should be wearing a mask, partly for health reasons, but also to set a standard for their customers to follow.

But, to take Morrisona as an example, there's very roughly, about 200 staff per store, and again, very roughly , each store gets about 3000 customers per day.

In reality, a lot of those staff won't be customer facing, so it'll likely be between 100 and 150 per store.

Simple maths says if all customers wear masks, that's roughly 95% of the people who are in the store each day. Plainly the staff are in the store longer than the customers, but even so, based on 8 hour shifts and half hour shops, if customers wear masks and staff don't, then you're still making a difference by putting on your mask to do your weekly shop. But it would be better if everyone, including staff who weren't behind a screen or visor, wore masks.

Speaking of Morrisons I was in there earlier and they had a doorman making sure everyone was wearing a mask, Sainsbury's and Asda did not. So kudos to them, although the others may have someone on door at peak times I don't know as I was at Morrisons around 20:20, Asda 21:05 and Sainsbury's 21:30.

I just like to nose around shops is all....:coffee:


Morrisons is genuinely better for baby food, Asda is usually cheaper for frozen stuff (I also like the taste of the cheese they do) and I prefer Sainsbury's meat products and bakery.

In truth there are a lot of different products I prefer in one compared to the other. Usually I will round robin and only go to 2 in one night but I was behind this week so it was a mega shop. Luckily each is no more than 3 minutes drive from the other.

So many people do this.
My Mrs even does, certain supermarkets get certain exclusives.
Asda get the Diet Coke with Lime for example, and she loves that with a Bacardi.

You are a prince among men - getting hubby to visit two supermarkets in a day requires a very special occasion/ingredient and not sure a trifecta has ever been achieved in our many years of marriage lol
