Sainsbury's and Tesco have joined the bookseller, Waterstones, which has said customers should wear masks to protect staff and other shoppers.

Predictable and unoriginal I see .

Lots of laughing emojis - tick
Copying me - tick

I just really hope people that are pleased by this realise it cannot be enforced? These businesses can 'recommend, ask, request' anything they like, but as its no longer a legal requirement they cannot enforce it, as all anyone has to say is no or I'm exempt and that's it! Private businesses may be able to but may well be procescuted under the disabilities act! So honestly please don't think that because these places are putting up signage or announcing stuff on the tannoy that people will listen! I think you may be in for a shock!

It wasn't enforced before. I hardly think being able to buy a lanyard and print off a card from the internet enforcing.

Christ, I know quite a few fit, youngish, double vaccinated people with Covid at the moment and it’s kicking their arses. Not badly enough to go to be admitted but still awful. There are some massive twats on this thread, just wear a mask for the time it takes to shop, you aren’t that special.

I know a few young people with covid right now, it's mild. One of dc girlfriends has it as well as 2 weekend staff at work. One didn't know they even had it!

No idea which variant though

I struggle with masks due to claustrophobia and was really looking forward to next week and not being continually challenged about ‘non compliance’
If not much is changing I will vote with my feet - I’m fed up with being made to feel sub human or a second class citizen
I will take my £ elsewhere

So far - thank you to my local Costa and Sainsbury’s - you have been sympathetic and respectful

Here comes the litmus test 28c over the weekend.

Tesco's and Sainsbury's have improved a lot, if they say they are supporting mask wearing and covid measures then presumably they plan to keep things that way.

Actually, I think I read that Sainsbury’s are removing some of the other covid measures, such as screens between the self-checkout tills, and between queues at regular tills. They’re keeping the ones between the cashier and customer though (it may have been Tesco I read this about, but I think it was Sainsbury’s).

You’re the one who gets abusive.

Enjoy Monday .

@Chillychangchoo 🎣 😂

@Fangsalot89

Thought the conversation had expired? You love it. Copying again I see 🤣 🎣 .

@Chillychangchoo Oh the conversation really has expired but I can’t help baiting you to keep responding with garbage and you do. It’s funny.
Be like Elsa.

@Fangsalot89

What’s hilarious is you’ve put yourself on an imaginary pedestal, and you’re projecting so you’re essentially laughing at yourself. And that is rather funny.

🤣👍

Is this juvenile exchange still going?

@Chillychangchoo What’s funny is that this conversation between us started because I said people should still be forced to wear masks and it boggles my mind we are even getting a choice. You’ve taken umbrage with it because it inconveniences you spending 5 minutes getting a pizza and seem to think your comfort outweighs the health of those around you. As a subsequent result you’ve determined my entire personality, which quite frankly is amazing.
🤣

@ilovesooty It is. Sadly, sometimes we all like grovelling around in the mud for a few minutes.

Nobody has ever been forced to wear masks though......it's always been personal choice

People just walk into buildings and without stopping they call over their shoulder, 'I'm exempt'

People really think the public have been so so compliant ....they haven't

Good, sensible.

@Fangsalot89

We have already had that debate though. You don’t think people should be given a choice, and I think they should be given a choice. You’re intolerant of people who don’t wish to wear masks.

I am not intolerant of other people’s choices.

You are.

@Chillychangchoo ok 🤣

@Fangsalot89

Glad you agree.

There are some massive twats on this thread, just wear a mask for the time it takes to shop, you aren’t that special.

Nothing is stopping you from wearing a mask if you choose to do so. Likewise, other people have the choice to not wear a mask. Personal responsibility.
