Simon CEO at Sansbury's. Exemplary communication.

Sainsburys

Please note Tesco, I am no longer shopping with you because my local store was well organised in the first lockdown but since then has been an absolute free for all !!!

I got that this morning and was impressed.

I think Morrisons are also employing security guards

I went to my Sainsburys this morning, I always go early because it's pretty quiet and the isles our wide so it's easy to distance. I can't remember seeing anyone in there without a mask, I haven't for weeks.

our are

I got the e-mail this morning from Sainsburys and just heard on local news the other Supermarkets are doing the same which is a good thing.

I got the email too. I shop online with Sainsbury’s but I was impressed by his speedy action and communication.

Good for them. The only supermarket we can go to is Tesco as the others are all more than 5 miles away, and our local one has been very well organised from the start. I'm glad they are adopting the same company policy about masks, as it makes it easier for managers like our local one to keep us all safer.

Well, I'm slightly miffed with Simon!

I spend a fortune with Sainsbury's, in Store (in the good old days) and now on line. I haven't had an email

DH insures both our cars with Sainsbury's, because it's cheap and we get double points on petrol, and he's had an email!!

And thinking about it, I buy most of the petrol!!

We received emails from Sainsbury all through the first Lockdown. Keeping us well informed.

I have continued to go for a weekly shop at my nearest one (about 3 miles drive). It has always been well organised, and except for one week, no queuing when I go.

It is a largish store and not a lot of customers when I go early on Monday mornings - often have whole aisles to myself. Have never seen any customers not wearing a mask and everybody is very polite and careful. Hand gel and spray for trolleys as we go in.

I am more than happy to continue, what is now, my ONLY weekly outing.

We shop at Tesco in next town to us, a large store which has plenty of room and has been well organised. I don't think I have seen any customers not wearing a mask. We do go around 7 - 7.30 in the morning, once a week. Call in Lidls on way home, just after they open so fairly quiet there too.
I think the worst thing in all the supermarkets are the home delivery pickers, they seem to congregate in aisles. You cannot keep much distance or you would never move!

Our local in town Sainsbury is small, has narrow aisles, and in first lockdown had huge queues all around the car park as they only let one out/one in after first intake. So avoided them, not that I go there often. We only have that and Waitrose, rarely go there.

That reads as if they are going to do something to prevent people from entering without masks - but I'm sure I saw earlier in the week that could not lawfully stop anyone from entering the store.

I think they have just gone back to queues and limited numbers in store.

Hmm. What happened to the hands part of Hands, Face, Space? I see plenty, if not all, of people wearing masks in stores but I see very few bothering to sanitise their hands (or basket and trolley handles) as they enter and leave the store. It would be more reassuring if stores were putting some emphasis on this aspect of virus transmission too.
