Boots Cuts 4,000 Jobs
Once the corona virus lockdown was implemented, my local Boots store started restricting entry to one person at a time – this despite the store being over 500 square metres in size.
Whilst waiting outside in-line to collect my regular medical prescription, I thought to myself – you don’t need more than a low double digit IQ to realise that by operating such a scheme, within a very short time period the business will go bust. But this seems to have been beyond the comprehension of Boots CEO.

I remember it selling toys, own brand kitchen ware such as saucepans, crockery, fondue sets - things you just don't go to your local chemist to buy. Now my local Boots sells sex toys, a few doors away from Ann Summers.
These days I get my prescriptions delivered free of charge (not by Boots) and buy everything Boots sells from the supermarket, cheaper.
May 2019 Boots announced they could close 200 stores within 2 years blaming business rates https:/ /www.da ilymail .co.uk/ news/ar ticle-7 078655/ Boots-s et-clos e-200-s tores-t wo-year s-new-b low-Hig h-Stree t.html
Now they blame lockdown. Not their fault, not at all.

We have only one Boots, it is located on the high street. I used to go there every day during the week because it was a short cut between my employer and the way home.
Now our office is gone and the staff moved to the Job Centre, the office is now a Holiday Inn or Travel Lodge place and Boots was almost empty of customers.
Down the street is where Woolworths used to be - I still miss the store.

Most local town high streets are dead now, Susan ( mine is anyway ), Woolworths ( long time now ) gone, BHS gone Marks and Spencer gone and now it looks like Boots will be gone. There are a lot of large empty buildings in my home town now. Who wants a town full of pound shops, banks / building societies and fast food places, I only go into my home town if I absolutely have to and I know that I'm not alone with that ( doesn't help that we can't park anywhere in town without having to pay ).
