Stopped off at a small Tesco by the train station. Security guard on the door letting people in as others came out.

One lass:
I don't need to wear a mask. It ain't fucking illegal.

Security guard:
It is as you can be fined £100. I have some masks here so will give you one for free.

Her:
I am not wearing a mask and you can't make me you cunt.

Him:
I can and I could but you are not coming in.

Her:
Torrent of abuse

Good old British common sense :thumbs:
 
I would say 30% tops of people wearing masks in Lidl tonight...
My friends in India, Mexico and Guatemala are gobsmacked. There, if you don't wear a mask IN THE STREET, let alone the shops, you are fined or arrested.
Still only 130 people in the UK died yesterday so that's ok
:mad:

It's the case here that masks must be worn or 100€ fine, with some sensible exceptions. We have seen, in Murcia, a move back to phase 1, and a rise in Málaga. The areas seeing a resurgence are those where people don't obey the rule, and where the tourists are.
 
Weren't enforcing it in my local Tesco... Not all staff wearing (though most were - just the guy at the till who is behind a screen anyway, and security guy who had a face shield - raised so less excusable). But only saw one person admitted without and he looked like he'd forgotten and regretted it. However this is a student area and I suppose likely to have higher uptake.
 
Got a box of disposable ones, and a couple of cotton re-usable ones. Ordered this one too.

It's always important to make supermarket shopping fun.

That’s awesome - I’m tempted.

Edit: it’s sold out:(
 
I had mine on today. Don't think I saw more than 5-6 adult customers who didn't (and it was a 9H shift). Didn't encounter any probs at all, aside from having to back up several colleagues who refused age-restricted sales to mask-clad people they couldn't be sure were over 25 from what they could see of their faces.

Extremely surprised, but I'm expecting Sunday to be VERY different.
 
Mrs SI said there was a marked difference today - she only saw one person without a mask in Jack's where there were maybe 5 wearing them before it was illegal to be without
 
Went to the pharmacy earlier to collect a prescription, masked up and went in, woman behind the counter couldn’t understand me and asked me to remove my mask 😷 :facepalm:

I went to the oral hygienist yesterday. They had ALL THE PPE in the world and I could barely understand what she was saying to me. Although I did understand when she said they can't use air conditioning and was "sweating like a horse" (English isn't her first language, I guess that's how they say it in her country). As I was leaving she was telling me a lot of things and I really had to concentrate, makes you realise how much lip reading is involved in conversation! But also, she was muffled under all the PPE (mask + visor). It really brought home the gruelling conditions health care workers are working under. I mean, if you're a hygienist it's not so bad, as the outcome for your patient is always positive. But I was thinking about nurses and doctors all the way home after that. I still am. Fucking hell.

(Don't use mouthwash everyday guys! Only twice a week :D)

also, wtf? I had no idea! Where Does the Phrase "Sweating like a Pig" Come from? the probable origin of the phrase ‘to sweat like a pig’

I bought a cycling mask with valves about two months ago, husband pointed out to me they are useless this morning. :( But he bought a box of good masks, so it balances it out.

My local garage is making non mask wearing customers use the night hatch, rather than letting them in. The lady that served me said they’ve already had multiple people kicking off about this as it’s “discrimination”, as well as one woman who went away then came back with a mask she’d written “waste of time” on with a sharpie :facepalm:
 
So here’s a possible conundrum - what happens if someone goes out shopping for a face mask, only to be refused entry for not wearing a mask? 🤔
 
100 percent compliance in Aldi this morning but almost no masks to be seen in the "Polish" shop where I buy my pickles - not even the staff - and no polycarb screens ...

Yesterday we had an HP engineer in to fix a laptop and I escorted him - both wearing masks to an otherwise unused room for the repair ...
