I had to visit a small Boots store for work yesterday, and an old boy went to the counter to ask if he could buy a thermometer and some hand sanitizer gel, and was told that they had delivery of both and they flew off the shelves by 9.30
My wife works at Sainsbury's, where small bottles of hand sanitizer are limited to 5 per customer (with signs up stating this at the stock location, and it the tills)
A lady customer went to the checkout with a whole case of the gel containing 12 bottles, along with her trolley of groceries. When told by the cashier that the gel was limited to 5 per customer and that's all she was allowed, she called the cashier a bItch !
The cashier told her that she would not be getting her shopping from Sainsbury's that day, and the Deputy Manager asked her to leave the store and consider herself banned in future
Another one Mrs L told me on Thursday . . .
A customer was at the checkout, and chit chatting with a cashier as you do
She explained that she'd been told by 111 that she needed to self isolate because she was displaying the symptoms of Corona virus, so she thought she'd better go straight to the supermarket to stock up on provisions.
The lady cashier lives with her frail 92 year old mother, who has lung disease, and was rightly concerned that this customer had been coughing and spluttering while at the checkout.
We all know that this nasty virus is potentially life threatening, but hand gel isn't the be all and end all of defence.
Good personal hygiene, and keeping personal space from others while out and about is all that is required imo
As for the toilet roll thing, . . . What's wrong with little squares of newspaper ?
That's all they had at my nan's when I was a kid !
