We have been using Tesco home delivery since the lockdown and it’s a very Good service

 

Also there are certain things you can't get delivered and it saves when you go you always say well have one of these and one of them finishing ip with stuff you dont really need.
Since the lockdown we cant get them on a weekly delivery but we just add more to compensate.

 

Yeah, our last two supermarket deliveries have been from Morrisons. It's a good service.

 

were you expecting high quality food?

 

If you are struggling for takeaways, fancy a treat or just can’t be arsed, the Charlie Bingham range of ready meals are lovely. Need to put them in the oven - can’t microwave them.

 

i second that. Pricey but very good

 

I think the people of Keighley will get to understand the rather complex signs in Asda about 3 months after restrictions are removed.

These signs include:
No Entry
Keep 2m apart

I wish Asda had made the signs much easier to understand.

 

So, how are we coping with the face mask rules now in force in shops.
Been to Lane ends Morrisons this morning, didn't see a single person without.
Good effort by all, if all the selfish prats behave it should help to stop the spread.
If you don't like it or can't wear one stay away and get home deliveries, and stay off public transport.
And before anyone bleats about freedom, I don't give a toss.

 

I have been to all the big supermarkets except Tesco over lockdown. It seems that Sainsbury and Waitrose have much more space and wider aisles, and also seem to allow fewer shoppers in store. Feels a much more distanced and safer experience. I do feel the Asda and Morrisons I have visited are employing all the measures but are much more cramped and therefore feel less distanced. The exception is Morrisons in Hunslet who for some inexplicable reason have closed the ends of the aisles by the checkouts, meaning you go down the aisle and have to do a U turn at the end, coming back past everyone coming the other way

 

I did a click and collect shop at Tesco's in Great Horton in early April. I foolishly imagined they would have my order ready in boxes and I would simply drive in, open my boot from my car, they would put it in the boot and I'd drive off, with no human contact whatsoever.
Not at all. There were assistants coming right up to my driver's door window asking my name, instead of going to the passenger side. Then a bloke brought out a trolley with a load of carrier bags on that I had to load into the boot myself. He then came right up next to me to collect the trolley without waiting for me to get back in the car. Given all the publicity I'd seen from Tesco about how they were reorganising their stores, I was gobsmacked by how sloppy the click & collect was.
I haven't been near a supermarket since then. Getting weekly veg deliveries from a local greengrocer and a supermarket delivery every three weeks or so from whoever I can get a slot with.

 

Plenty of people who would ordinarily be going out on the town and regularly blowing £100+ on a night out. Or going for expensive restaurant meals once a month. What else are they spending it on at the moment?

 

Been having Morrisons home delivery when they first introduced it, great service, our lass makes her order out gets a slot and she can amend it up until 24 or so hours before delivery.They take the goods (all bagged) and ring the door bell they are left on the doorstep, we wear gloves and wipe every item down with wipes,.
We paid £30 or so for 12 months delivery, it's a great service, I would recommend the service be it Morrisons or any other Supermarket.

 

Loss of earnings from Furlough?
Putting some aside in case the worst happens?

I see Waitrose as an occasional treat, maybe £20-£30 to upgrade for a nice family meal. I just can’t imagine the cost of a big shop there!

 

Sure. I could afford to shop at Waitrose in normal times but don't, because I think you pay through the nose for stuff that's no different from what I get from Morrisons in Guiseley.
Obviously there are many people being hit hard financially by the virus, either because they are furloughed or self employed or their business can't open. But there are also many people who are working from home, or retired, on their normal income but with no social life, travel, holidays etc on which to spend it. So the extra £30 on a big shop from Waitrose is neither here nor there to those people.

 

Let's be honest the supermarkets pulled the wool over the weak government eyes. Supermarkets could have done home delivery only or we could have just used the local shops.

The queuing outside the supermarkets is just for show because no matter which supermarket you go into all of them don't care about the social distancing rules once inside. It will be the same when the shops open.

I would say the most common place to catch covid 19 is in a supermarket right now.

If supermarkets were serious then the following should Talk place:

Before you enter you should be temperature checked.
No more than 2 people from the same family allowed inside.
People should wear gloves and masks to be allowed inside
All tills should be open to quicken up service

Problem is this government doesn't have a clue about business, so the businesses just take the mick out of them like the Furlough scheme.

 

Tried a new Morrison take away service meal, Fish, chips mushy peas and 2 slices of Bread and butter for £5.60,
was gash,

 

None local are open yet nearby especially Saturdays, Morrison's also do other meals to takeaway its not just fish and chips

 

No,no, NO! Please not that
