Which supermarkets has the most mask wearing?

Most people were still wearing masks when I was in the Co-op in our little town. The staff were not! They did wear face shields which is better than nothing I suppose.

You would certainly have a touch of the vapours and clutch your pearls if you went into my nearest Waitrose.
It’s cheek by jowl with the largest council estates in the town.
But to counteract that, Lidl have a store on the doorstep of a very expensive private estate.

I quite like asda but I must admit I have avoided it because even when mask wearing was mandatory there was post after post on local facebook about people not wearing masks, not social distancing, whole families going shopping together.

I only really go to sainsburys and almost everyone wears a mask. Oh I sometimes pop in the co-op too, it's a mix in the co-op

That's funny! Masks in shops were dropped on Monday here in France. About 95% still wearing them in Carrefour, 75% in Lidl.
We are making our first trip in over two years to the UK next month. We will go from our car to the cabin on the ferry, drive to DD's house, then wear masks for shopping in M and S and Waitrose. Shopping list sadly much diminished because pork pies, bacon and cheese no longer allowed. ?
By the way does anyone know where I can buy simple knee length linen / cotton skirts?

I saw some in matalan but they were elasticated waist and not everyone likes an elasticated waist have a look at sainsburys tu clothes, they do such good quality clothing

It always amuses me when the announcement comes over the tanoy in Sainsbury’s...

“ Even though it’s no longer a legal requirement, we would ask all our customers to show courtesy to others, and continue to wear a mask”

I would say it’s about 70% wear a mask, when I shop Thursday or Friday morning, but that’s the customers. Very few staff do!

Masks in shops are still required in Wales up until the 28th March I believe. Most people comply .

Sainsbury's is a good thought JaneJudge. I had a stock of the BHS ones for gardening, but all worn out now. ?

In my local Aldi, practically everyone still wears masks. Scotland has extended the mask wearing rule til April though.

I went into town yesterday at 10.00am, hardly any masks in M& S or Sainsburys. Maybe a third. Staff not wearing them at all. I still wear mine, my friend doesn't.
On a slightly different subject, my husband attended an appointment at Addenbrookes on Wednesday and he was surprised at the number of people not wearing masks. All nurses and doctors were.

Wow

I haven’t looked at Gransnet for a long time but reading some of these posts reminded me why…narrow minded, nasty judgmental comments from some posters, who clearly don’t live in the real world.

A lot of people are still wearing them in our branch of Booths. Perhaps taking their cue from the staff- they all still wear them.

Varies from day to day here, M&S yesterday and only me wearing a mask in the food dept. Last week almost everybody was wearing one.

Staff really shouldn’t have to wear masks though. If you’re popping in for a 15 minute shop, then wear one if you can. Wearing one for a whole day is completely different!

You all sound so snobby , judging people as to where they shop and whether they wear a mask or not. Does any of it matter ? You shop where you want and wear a mask if you want .
I shop at Asda, Morrisons and Lidl and I don’t wear a mask so if it makes me lower class then I’m fine with that .

Probably also depends on what part of the country you are in. I've noticed regional variations when it comes to mask-wearing.

I’m afraid I’m going to say the unsayable and then you can all slate me for it. More people who are older wear masks and more middle class people wear masks and that’s why M+S and Waitrose have more mask wearers. If you want to you can slate me you can, but it won’t change the truth.

I'm in N.Ireland and 1 in 13 people had Covid last week, but yet masks are practically non existent anywhere in my town. I wear mine and I can feel people looking at me like I'm an eejit. A couple I know stopped to talk to me the other day, asking me how I was, etc; and went on to tell me they weren't the best because the both of them had Covid. They were out shopping! I was fuming and said well I don't want to get it and walked off. What is wrong with these spreaders!

There is 0 evidence that masks prevent covid

The masks are not very effective against transmission of viruses unless its the N type. They make you feel safer but really their effect is minimal. Actually I think people get closer to those wearing masks so spread the virus more

Perhaps you could quote your source for that comment (opinion.)

Wales has slightly different views on this than over the border. Most people wear them in shops. My Dr surgery has a new prominent notice that masks must be worn as there has been an increase in covid cases. Didn't stop 3 people sitting together in waiting room without masks - other waiting patients unhappy but no-one brave enough to say anything!

What an unpleasant post, it’s a personal attack.
Are you a non mask wearer ? Just asking.
