She was shocked at how relaxed the rules are here compared to over in Germany. I guess it varies from area to area then. There have been protests in Berlin, according to my friend lots don't wear masks on public transport there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see it having the reverse effect for some shops like high street clothes shops...not so fun going clothes shopping with mates now have to wear a mask.

Above used Co-op as example, my local one is small with narrow aisles yet staff stocking up never wear a mask but ones behind the till with screens do - go figure reasons not to today from colleagues were .....1) I had a test last week , I dont have it and im not wearing it until its mandatory ... my response was that it protects others ... im still not wearing it until its mandatory .........2) I wore them at the beginning and people laughed at me ...3) they are too hot I cant wear them 4) and I dont know how many people told me today that it should have been done earlier .... like thats some kind of reason we shouldn't do it now !!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being able to try anything on has definitely put me off, I've just ordered some stuff online. Less hassle to return by post than to the shop. I understand why the rule is there obviously, but I can see it having a negative impact on the high street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This socially distanced outdoor music experience will be held in the Pavilion event space in the park. Line up: Norman Jay MBE DJ Yoda (full AV show) & many more to be announced I was just coming to post about this. Basically a one-day festival innit? If stuff like this is going ahead this year, things would have to get very bad for festivals to be totally off next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punksnotdead Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 It's a tough one - I'd feel sorry for shop workers on minimum wage having to wear a mask for 8 hours a day when customers are only having to wear them for a few minutes while they are in the shop! I can't wait to take mine off as soon as I'm out of the shop (especially when the weather is warm - sweaty face & all that). I would feel safer if they were wearing them though!

Crazyfool01 Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 My shop has had outside security since the beginning of the pandemic ... they have better powers and are much better than colleagues doing a job on security ..... I think someone on security at the door with proper door ID will have more chance of getting people to wear them than the colleague on the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5 day training course and a £210 license gives them zilch powers or anything more than shop staff have. Edited July 24, 2020 by Paul ™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but what does that mean? Does everyone get a square to dance in? Or do they hope that if they keep numbers low people will just space out? Not clear to me how that works.
