Thank you to supermarket staff who are really in the front line.

DS is working on the back door of a large supermarket unloading the lorries and has all the overtime he can do right now. He is young and fit but we worry all the time.
Our bins have just been emptied so there are lots of people who have to keep us going.
Full of praise for all of them.

I was talking to a lady behind the counter in our local shop and she was telling me how rude some people are, both to the staff and other customers...unbelievable!
Love the message from your daughter fatgran57

Not forgetting the truck drivers who are delivering the stocks to the stores, although they don’t have to face angry customers.

The list of ‘essential’ workers is very long

Are supermarkets staff “ key workers” able to send the kids to school

Both my daughters work in a local supermarket and we know many of the staff also.

They are doing a great job and working all sorts of hours to keep things going.

The abuse from some customers is dreadful and this is happening all day long to these staff members.

In a lighter note my daughter sent me this - "In an unsettling reversal of my teenage years I am now yelling at my parents for going out"
