Ive noticed shoppers starting to become a little more aggressive

DH goes to a shop once a week but if there is a queue he walks away. I would rather starve than have him put his health and sanity at risk.

Yes me too someone was very annoyed with me the other day,i had misunderstood the queuing system and was stood in the wrong place,i then apologised and moved, only to be told by another women i had pushed in, she had also misunderstood,the shop assistant told the women I was now in the correct place and she had to move, she wasn’t happy. I’m sure this wouldn’t have escalated the way it did before Covid.

I am not allowed out at the moment as I am shielding but I am beginning to hate my loss of freedom. The inability to walk to the bluebell wood, not being able to spontaneously go out and get things I need. I am not surprised people are getting impatient especially older people as they must feel as I do that life is passing me by.
My life has already been on hold for 18 months and the thought of another 18 fills me with dread.

So far I have no experience of lockdown supermarket shopping as very luckily I've managed to get an online delivery. This is through constantly checking slots available and accepting any time. If I had to I would have to send DH as he's younger, but I'm dreading it. Up to now he was out of action as well because of sciatica!

I don't know, as I have not been anywhere in a month. However I do feel that people are feeling a bit more down and probably feeling the effects of isolation. Stores should employ people to point out the one way systems and have security on hand to escort people off the premises should they become abusive. I don't think that it's going to get better any time soon.

I think the "novelty" has worn off and people are getting fed up and just want to go back to what is normal for them. I too see a change in attitude while shopping. In the first couple of weeks people were chatty and somewhat incredulous of the situation but in the last week there seems to be a subtle change in behaviour.

This is why I don't think we will see any major changes in the way we live when this is over. Most people are too set in their ways and see any restriction on them as a threat to their rights and freedom.

Our local Tesco does very well, and people are adhering to the queueing, one way system and staying in your square, in the main.
Have to say it seems to be older folk who are the most impatient. I was waiting for the lady in front of me to move on after choosing her item, an oldish lady behind me kept pushing her trolley more into my square and huffing. I turned round and gave her ‘ a look’. I said nothing, but felt like saying, “Just wait your turn, I doubt if you have heaps to do when you get home anyway!”

And yes, I don’t know if she had left a sick husband or someone at home, but we have an excellent volunteer system in our community, she looked the age to be a suitable candidate.
