Our shopping behaviours have recently been shown as bizarre, to say the least - so I can't see punters following arrows!
Brawls have been common - with people overshpping at dawn, ignoring those with preferential status. And being less than mannerly.
Tesco though are taking on 20,000 staff, which might help - but home delivery slots are still only available, in the distant future.

There is every reason to shop differently. It might not be the same everywhere, but near me the shops are taking advantage by only stocking the more expensive versions, and have removed lots of things and replaced them with others.
For instance, Sainsburys have actually taken away the fresh meat aisle and filled it with alcohol. I suppose there is more profit in gin than mince?
I finally got some toilet roll (after lots of traipsing when really, my family needs to not risk shops but there are no deliveries) but I paid £12.70 for the same amount I usually pay £3.95 for.
Also, if people are home they are consuming more food at home rather than at school college or work and so everyone will need far more shopping than before.
The food that was destined for workplaces and schools must be somewhere, but it is not on the supermarket shelves, that's for sure.

I think most people have no idea at all about cross contamination. I would like to beat them about the head until they listen have more government sponsored adverts actually showing how the virus is transmitted.
Like those safety adverts from the seventies. They might have been daft but there is a generation of us who avidly close farmgates, dip not dazzle, and remember that the outside lane is for overtaking only!
I bought red rice yesterday from a shop that had two metre squares marked out on the floor, but the assistant took my change and licked her gloved hand so she could open the bag.
