Will the great British public EVER learn???

While I was shopping yesterday in the asda it was proof that some are going to ignore rulings, walking freely with out a face mask with no one challenging them, why have security if your not going to use them

It could’ve been nipped in the bud if face masks were compulsory from the start - like a lot of things.

I doubt it would have made any difference when it was introduced, there will always be people out there who take the attitude " they're not telling me what to do", whether it was introduced in March or July. That attitude is probably why we have more fatalities than say Spain or Italy who seem to have a more compliant/respectful population.

I do agree on the whole the British public can be quite selfish. However, it doesn’t help when the Government do 5 or 6 u-turns on whether or not masks are essential.

How can they tell if you have an exemption for medical reasons or whether you take your mask off when you are inside the shop. All they can do is remind people what the rules are. I suppose they could stop people at the door but it would cause chaos. Smaller shops have a better chance as the numbers are controllable.

I just keep a mask in my pocket, put it on when entering a shop / robbing a post office and take it off when done.

it's easy just refuse to serve them they'd get the idea then

Quite right snowie, Asda didn't have much of a problem enforcing the number of customers allowed into the store at any one time when it all started.

But you are then causing a queue and keeping the trouble causer in the shop.

Better to get them out quickly.

Then sort them out.

asda have never really confirmed in aiding to keep customers to keep a 2 metre distance and I should imagine it's a nightmare to do so, at the end of the day it's their staff I feel sorry for as it's them on the front line having to deal with customers disregarding advise to do so.

I'm sure there's a few bouncers out of work due to the night clubs being closed at the moment
