    "Following the Government’s new announcements on Monday, we’re writing to tell you about a new 5-point action plan we’ve introduced into Waitrose stores to protect you and our Partners as you continue to shop with us. The plan includes:

    Limiting customer numbers: a reduced number of people will be allowed into our shops at any one time, plus new signage to help keep customers two metres apart.

    Dedicated marshals in our busiest shops: teams will manage queues at shop entrances before and during opening as well as prioritising NHS staff.

    New cleanliness measures will be adopted and checkout screens introduced, to protect customers and Partners.

    All Partners will be offered special visors, creating an extra layer of protection.

    Cashless and contactless payment will be encouraged as this will help reduce unnecessary contact. Partners will also help customers use our Quick Check self-service app."


    Finally

    Yep, 2 weeks after most other European countries
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

      Same tulip here, also, what the actual **** is happening with flour? can't get flour anywhere, even mills are stopping any online orders due to huge amounts of orders. I've tried around 20 different mills that have online shops, all closed...

            Was this because you are part of the group to be "shielded" if so when did you get the letter from the NHS?

            I ask as I am expecting that letter too, but no post for 2 days (I hope Mr Postie is ok)

              Ocado changed their queuing script yesterday and now I'm greeted with this:

              Number of users in queue ahead of you: 117446
              Your estimated wait time is: more than an hour



              Also on the very top of the page it says: "You can close this page without losing your place in the queue.", so it seems that you have to click on the "Leave the queue (You will lose your place)" link near the bottom of the page to actually leave the queue. Wonder how many people don't realise this and this is why the queue is now 100k+ users.
