But the results are plain to see with the closure and job losses in the retail industry, the high streets are filled with Barber Shops, Charity shops, and pound shops. I personally don't go into Doncaster shopping anymore, I much prefer the big out of town shopping malls and retail parks, but with the loss of shops like Debenhams, BHS and C&A even those big retail parks are going to be struggling. It's only a matter of time before John Lewis and M&S disappear. There will be no reason to leave your house in the future, we are almost there now....

Re: Self-Scan
I much prefer to do my own shopping but - it is a mile walk to Sainsbury's and the queues are too long at the moment. Not to mention the pavements are lethal and it would take a few trips to stock up. At the moment I am grateful for delivery of a months supply of necessaries in one go. My cheese comes direct from Wensleydale Creamery so all I have to venture out for is meat/poultry/fish.

Not to mention saving a few quid and buying Chinese and other foreign products instead of buying British? I think the 'Self Scan' job worries pale into insignificance considering the above...
I know my groceries are hand picked in my local Waitrose I know one of the 'trolly pickers' called Vicky.See below...

Sadly during the pandemic I have had little choice but to have a delivery if I want to eat. Health issues and age make me vulnerable to infection.
I do buy goods online but that doesn't mean I don't buy local when I can.

I don't 'prefer to use the delivery service supermarkets provide' , I hate it preferring to select my own limited number of goods from supermarkets, the bulk of my diet comes from local farm shops who grow their own produce.
