Would you use the Morrison’s salad bar at the moment?

I was surprised to see it open today, just as it used to be with all the trays open and tongs in each which you obviously have to share as you move along. There was no one using it mind.

I wouldn’t, and am very surprised it is open

dancemom · 22/04/2021 14:48

In the local store here it's only the staff member who uses the tongs and fills the salad boxes so no members of the public handing things

RJnomore1 · 22/04/2021 14:50

Not only did our salad bar reopen we now have an olive bar we never had before.

I love a salad bar and even I’m a bit dubious about it!

LadyCatStark · 22/04/2021 14:51

No but man, I miss Morrison’s salad!

ShirleyPhallus · 22/04/2021 14:52

I wouldn’t on a normal day

The General Public are the worst. All filthy and unwashed, sneezing over the croutons. Yeuch, no thanks.

Bazoo23 · 22/04/2021 14:53

Used it today! Grin
You get your own box and serve yourself just like before. Nice to see something back to normal to be honest!

RubyFowler · 22/04/2021 14:54

Not even a token hand gel?

bloodywhitecat · 22/04/2021 14:54

I wouldn't but because I am more concerned about the transmission of things like hepatitis A rather than Covid.

Sooobooored · 22/04/2021 14:55

I was a bit dubious in normal times especially when it was busy and people were chatting away and dropping bits from the tongs in the wrong trays (did it myself) so I don’t think I would use it now tbh.

Like you I was surprised to see it open.

Ours had gloves for you to use with the tongs

DappledThings · 22/04/2021 15:02

I would, wouldn't think twice about it really

What a bloody waste for the environment. Someone using a pair of gloves and chucking them away for a £2 salad

Almost no-one has COVID now. The odds of the one of the 10 people in the catchment area for your Morrisons who do being in front of you in the queue for the salad bar is vanishingly small to say the least.

CoastAlong · 22/04/2021 16:17

Hell no. I wouldn't use it ever though.

Northernsoullover · 22/04/2021 16:19

I would Blush

FizzyApricot · 22/04/2021 16:22

I wouldn't use it in normal times. Too many people sneeze.

ChillyB · 22/04/2021 16:22

Nope but I wouldn’t use it in normal times either. I don’t like buffets either.

Sparklingbrook · 22/04/2021 16:25

I heard them announce it was open again. Looks really nice but I wouldn't use it Covid or no Covid.

l2b2 · 22/04/2021 16:30

Not a chance

beccahamlet · 22/04/2021 16:32

I noticed in Morrison's that the salad bar was open and was a bit surprised. I think they 're a bit dodgy at the best of times, and I don t think i'm precious. Wouldn't use one ATM.

WalesStar · 22/04/2021 16:36

No chance. Not even pre-Covid. There’s too many people who don’t know what tongs are for.

PinkCookie11 · 22/04/2021 16:38

Love a Morries salad!!
My counters open but the staff fill your box.

Thatisnotwhatisaid · 22/04/2021 16:57

No but I do love a morrisons salad. I see far too many people failing to use the hand sanitiser on the way in to do anything like that.

Itstheprinciple · 22/04/2021 16:59

Ours have put a hand sanitising station right next to it.

I would use it. I love a Morrisons salad.

Itstheprinciple · 22/04/2021 17:05

According to government data there were fewer than 3 cases in my town last week. I'm sure there might be the odd asymptomatic person wandering about but chances are very small.
