I was passing Morrison's today and against my better judgement decided to go in to stock up on stuff we can't get from Asda. I don't like that Morrison's because the staff all act like they hate the place and have serious morale issues. As I got out of the car I found someone's debit card on the ground. I handed it in at customer services but the person looked more like they would to try to use it than keep it somewhere safe. Not much social distancing going on and only a few people bothering with masks even though it was fairly busy. I bought a plant too and at the checkout the women just shoved it down the slide so it fell over and spilled the soil everywhere, then she shoved bottles down after it before I could pick it up again. I won't be going back in a hurry.
Sainsbury's are also in the bad books as they still charged us for the delivery that never turned up and then charged us again with a higher delivery cost added on for the rescheduled delivery. They made it a total pain for us to get the refund too.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I go for the older checkout assistants in Sainsbuy. They get my system without any explanation. The younger ones just hurl stuff down the belt and mess it all up until I ask them to hold on a minute
I have to say that all the staff in our Morrison are lovely, a lot of them have been there since it used to be Safeway’s.
Over the border into Cornwall they are even more friendly, everyone’s their lover. As in ‘Alright my lover?
Traffic queues into Cornwall today, 60 mile tail back, long stretch of the main A30 shut as it seems someone had jumped off the bridge, not officially confirmed yet, but the signs are there, a regular occurrence in this spot, they were asking people’s not to come to Cornwall, it’s full! The road was shut for 10 hours.
So much for social distancing, they have no idea, they think because we hardly had any cases down here that it’s all ok.

The other Morrison's is fine but it's a nightmare to park there and it's always busy. People have said it's too busy and too small to cope with any kind of distancing at the moment. Shame as they have much better plants there  Partly because the staff actually care enough water to them though...
One of my wife's clients stopped someone jumping off a bridge the other day. He had to hold the person for an hour and a half and the police refused to help until their negotiator arrived.
