When I visited Tesco last Friday at around 8am, I queued, quite rightly, to restrict the number of shoppers entering the store. When I entered the store I found, with three other customers, that there was a barricade across the fruit aisle so we went down the veg aisle and up the fruit aisle only to be verbally abused by a couple coming down. I explained that the barricade was in place when we entered the store so then the gentleman (I use the term lightly) accused me of dawdling.

It has been requested that only one adult does the shopping and, as they looked like “able” adults, perhaps they could bear this in mind in the future. It is bullies like these that make our lives unnecessarily miserable at these difficult times.
