Re: Shopping this morning
My neighbour across the road just brought me some odds and ends I needed. He went to Waitrose and said it was very quiet and orderly! He even managed to get a pack of 4 loo rolls for me!He reckons that now so many are home, and can shop through the week, weekends are not as bad now.
Don't know about that though, because from what I heard they were queuing right across Waitrose car park yesterday, so perhaps they bought everything then.

Re: Shopping this morning
If you are over 70 with a Waitrose loyalty card I read provision is being made. I guess delivery slots will be made available in certain areas on certain days.I wish they would reduce the spend from £60, it encourages people to buy more than they need. I would happily pay a delivery fee instead for some Fruit and vegetables .

that's greatI am not a regular 'online' shopper, but a regular shopper over 70 with a My Waitrose card so I am hoping I might hear something too.

Re: Shopping this morning
I went to Boots yesterday with a prescription. Got there at 2pm and was told the pharmacy was closed until 3pm.Went back at 3pm only to see the queue outside and decided to come back today (Sunday).
Got there at 11.50 am and there was no queue. I was let in and had to walk a specific path to the pharmacy counter, then stay apart with the marks on the floor.
Gave in my prescription and was told to come back at 12.30, but not into the store, to a side window.
I thought it was really well managed but what a strange world we are now in.

Re: Shopping this morning
I'm a regular shopper at Sainsbury's but couldn't get an online slot for for them when I tried a couple of weeks ago as all 3 weeks were taken. I applied today for one of their elderly/vulnerable applications. My details have been taken and I have to wait a couple of days while my details are being verified.I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
