Which supermarkets has the most mask wearing?

Elasticated waist masks?
That's taking things a,bit far!

Although not compulsory I feel compelled to wear a masque when I go into any building where there will be more persons than myself.

I thought that mask wearing is not mandatory in England any more.
It still is in Scotland. Not sure about Wales and NI.

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.

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

What???

I was answering a question above my post if you care to read it, it is about linen skirts

Can’t help but agree with you.

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.

Ooh you nasty judgmental person you!
That's wrecked my whole Sunday.?

Actually i agree with you. Nothing wrong with stating facts.
For the regularly offended -
For the record I shop in Waitrose Sainsburys and M &S .
I ALSO regularly shop in Lidl Aldi and pre pandemic, regularly shopped in Asda.

Maddyone,the personel attack seems to be anyone who dares to shop in the likes of Asda,Tesco etc.

I think that people who have the most to lose, (their lives, or risk of long covid) such as the elderly and immunosuppressed are still wearing masks. Perhaps others with relatives, or who are mindful of others are the other few remaining mask wearers.
Hospital admissions from covid are going up, and the majority of those now catching omicron are over 70.
This is what living with covid looks like, and not without a cost.

I have gone back to shopping online and in small local shops, much easier.

I wear a mask while ordering an online shop, I'm that responsibly minded.

That made me chuckle

Were vulnerable people not vulnerable before covid? Surely they were just as vulnerable to the flu? And no one wore masks then.

I shop mostly in Tesco and Aldi and at an estimate there are about half wearing masks.

Well where I live I’d say all supermarkets shops are 50/50 but I do when in shops but I’m vulnerable so feel I’m protecting myself but I’ve noticed sanitizer is starting to disappear from them. I used it before covid and still do so hopefully prices will come back down lol

I've noticed that it is primarily older people who have their masks under their noses.
I wonder where they shop?

I suppose I notice about a third of people mask wearing in my local Sainsbury’s the main supermarket where I shop. As I myself don’t mask up, I can’t say it is of too much interest to me. I do however make sure that, as a non mask wearer, I don’t get too near them as I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable. I have on occasion been rudely criticised for not wearing a mask from people with a limp bit of paper hanging loosely from their face with large gaps at the side. Wouldn’t stop a golf ball getting through let alone an absolutely microscopic virus! I have, of course politely pointed this out to them but they haven’t liked it much I’m afraid.

Almost everyone in our Waitrose wears a mask, and our closest Sainsbury's is about half and half.
I don't go near Lidl or Aldi at present, as their mask wearing customers are very few, and wild horses couldn't force me into Asda!
I've been getting my shopping delivered by Ocado for over two years now, and love it. It was a slight nuisance when they dropped Waitrose in favour of M&S, but we're very close to Waitrose, and I find I get what I want from M&S via Ocado, whereas when visiting the store, items I wanted were often out of stock!

There is 0 evidence that masks prevent covid

Think you've just made that up.....!

They wear them in Aldi more than in Coles. The ALDIs here are quite upmarket these days. Costco still expect you to wear them. American shop.

I'm irritated by people not wearing masks on London buses. Apparently they think that public transport is where most people catch Covid here. And everybody I know who has been on a plane recently has been Covid positive if they tested after their trip.

Around one in ten shoppers are mask wearers in my local Tesco, and about a third of the staff.

Old people don't they drive you nutz?! Masks dangling under noses, removing them to speak, wearing under chin!!! Does one become completely unable to follow simple instructions after a certain age?

one can never be too careful

@Amalegra
I hate it when they imagine a loose mask will do anything at all to protect anyone. A lot of people seem to be wearing masks over their mouths, leaving their noses sticking out over the top!
