Agreed. Made me laugh yesterday as straight after a government advert that mentioned shopping as little as you can and only for essential goods was immediately followed by two Easter egg adverts.
just been down to the 2 metre squared off, direction arrows on the floor, staff outside making everyone gel their hands
and spray their basket before entering Tesco mini downstairs. in the first aisle , 5 squares all full of people patiently waiting for the person ahead to move on, and a guy bowled in, barged past me and everyone else to go to the post office at the end.
I lost it a little, and apologised to the other shoppers who all said no problem mate, its idiots like him will get people killed. Got the square at the end by the post office and he was smirking at which point i became a tad more angry and pointed out that we wont always have to stay 2 metres apart and theres a lot of dark alleys round here. At that point, lots of staff started to appear.
Did my shop, and walked went back to the veg section to get some onions that id forgotten when the post office twat made me lose it barging past me and another guy bowled in and stood right next to me to rummage through the fruit and i snapped, and in a very forthright manner asked him what he thought he was doing. When he asked me what I meant i came close to exploding, and asked him what he thought the squares were for. When he said he didnt know i got quite loud pointing out all the measures in place, the hand gel, the one in one out, the disenfectant spray, the squares , the arrows on the floor and that i didnt appreciate an ignorant fuck putting my life at risk.
When I went to pay I apologised to Gemma on the tills and she said it was fine, I wasn't the one at fault. By the time i got back to the flat and was standing looking out the window - 2 minutes max since id left and the Police were pulling up and going into Tesco's.
Now, I know i shouldnt have flipped , but I haven't spent this long locked up, avoiding contact with people, missing mates weddings, a mate celebrating the birth of his daughter or any other changes we've had to make to stay safe so that my pneumonia fucked lungs can get filled with cv-19 by some twat who cant wait to buy a stamp and a twat who cant wait to buy apples.
Believe it or not, I'm actually a very calm person, it takes a lot to push my buttons, but that really got to me.
The whole experience has taught me two things. Some people still don't give a shit about the situation and the Police are on high alert to get to any potentially violent situations between people playing by the rules and people that don't think it applies to them, which with a sunny bank holiday coming up does not bode well at all.
Oh, and that I need to make sure i take some kalms before venturing outside
