From The Daily Mash:
ANYONE who does not live in a detached house will be barred from shopping in Waitrose during the coronavirus crisis.
As the pandemic continues to disrupt shopping, the supermarket has introduced restrictions to ensure only ‘their kind of people’ stockpile its overpriced items.
Not true. My wife had to queue this morning just like everybody else.
From a Waitrose & John Lewis email yesterday:
We’re also suspending services that involve close contact between customers and Partners. This includes our cafes, A Place To Eat and others that require skin contact, such as beauty counter treatments and bra-fitting. Nespresso and Kuoni will be closing their outlets too as a temporary measure.
Truly the end of the world as we know it.

I actually managed to get some milk and a loaf of bread yesterday so I was very pleased. And some cheese - bonus!
It's like the Soviet Union in the 1980s where you queued up first thing in the morning and you just had to buy whatever happened to be in stock that day.
RT, yes, but that was government imposed. This is self inflicted. If everybody else is acting irrationally, then the rational thing to do is also act irrationally.
@Rich Tea "It's like the Soviet Union in the 1980s where you queued up first thing in the morning and you just had to buy whatever happened to be in stock that day."
I had exactly the same though this am seeing bare shelves and gargantuan queues this morning at the local Waitrose. I took one look and walked away. Not that hungry I guess (unlike the Soviets)
Can I volunteer to stand in for the reluctant bra fitters. I am happy to take the risk of infection...
TBH, queue was an hour. You were right not to bother. are you 'working from home' at the moment?
L, I too was wondering how to get that sort of job, just as a fall back if accountancy doesn't work out.
I went to Lidl two days ago and the only thing that was missing was my favourite yoghurt, Grrr, and bog paper, of course. I then went to Tesco and there were empty shelves everywhere. Luckily the one thing I wanted which wasn't in stock was confiscated off the woman in front of me, who had more than three, so I grabbed it.
B, at Tesco yesterday very early, the usual stuff (pasta, loo roll) was all gone of course, but the fruit and veg section was still well stocked.
