Well, I mean, we're only women. We're not essential either are we?Hmm

Someone else ClaireLotsOfNumbers has also tweeted similar 3 mins ago.

Tesco have barriers off whole aisles.

@averylongtimeago

That can't be true! Are nappies and tenalady banned as well?
And loo roll, tissues ... hoe about soap and hand gel? If their 'logic' is that supermarkets shouldn't sell items normally also available from Boots etc , as I can't imagine what else it was.Confused

Hopefully a misunderstanding rather than an explicit exclusion but it would be good to know wtf happened.

I suspect that the shop made this (terrible) call because they're in an aisle of otherwise 'non-essential items' and they shut the whole thing off. It's just bonkers though - I can't even begin to see the logic of making specific items unavailable in a shop that is otherwise open, and what that does to reduce viral spread

That doesn't explain the pictures posted of the Aisles fenced off though...

Oh ok, this may be the fault of someone on auto pilot responding and not actually reading what the queried item was! Hopefully!

If this shit carried on I'd go and free bleed outside the Senned.

He's the Welsh health minister

There is no logic! What a bunch of dumb wits

HomerRoberts · 26/10/2020 10:43

If true, I’m pretty sure this will be due to dimwits at Tesco rather than any government directive.

Just because they may not have seen the word woman on anything in a while, doesn't mean we've fucking disappeared Hmm

LunarPhase · 26/10/2020 10:39

StealthPolarBear · 26/10/2020 10:38

Someone has to explain the logic. I wonder if this is tesco or the government

yourhairiswinterfire · 26/10/2020 10:37

What the actual fuck?
