Fields Feb 2022 6:55pm, 10 Feb 2022 2,645 posts	Quote Pin Fields I highly recommend the self scanning handset pack while you shop thing at Sainsbury’s Mrs Jigs. No queue there. Good for covid safety too as little dwell time at the tills and lower density of other people.
ThorntonRunner Feb 2022 10:31pm, 10 Feb 2022 5,689 posts	Quote Pin ThorntonRunner We have an odd number of aisles in our local coop. When they had a one way system during the height of lockdown it meant you had to double round an aisle you'd already been along to get to the final aisle
