Will People Go To The Shops?
BBC article thinks people won’t go shopping after lockdown.
If the supermarkets, Wilco, Poundland and the DIY stores are anything to go by they will be chomping at the bit to get out and shop. At my local Morrison’s it has been getting steadily busier every day and at times it is almost as busy as before lockdown.
I think any downturn in shoppers in the first few weeks will be because a lot of people will be reluctant to spend (just in case they get made redundant or laid off etc) as opposed to over reluctance on going out in general.

I was looking forward to it but got so fed up of people going against the arrows, blocking passageways with trollies, people with masks thinking they didn't need to social distance, that I left early and won't go back for a while. I certainly won't bother looking in clothes shops and will avoid trains and busy pavements
Watching Channel 4 news earlier this evening and they were covering the re-opening of shops. A few things became apparent; large stores will have no trouble at all with social distancing and one way systems, but the smaller shops will, and will therefore have their customers queueing outside. Many towns (and cities, no doubt) will have such shops close together and all will have queues outside their premises and beyond. With the distinct possibility of 3 or more shops in immediate proximity, how will each shop ensure social distancing?
Most people, when buying certain items of clothing will ant to try said items on. If they then do not purchase the item, does it go back on the peg? Or does the proprietor promise to have the item cleaned before it goes back on sale?
Will be interesting to discover how the re-opening is organised.
