We were in Cheshire Oaks M & S this afternoon.I think it is the next largest store outside London.I was shocked how few members of staff were wearing masks.Given that most of their customers at 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon are retired and possibly vulnerable.Not even the lady serving in the cafe.!When we got home I phoned the store and spoke to the manager who was on the defensive but I argued my points.An ethical company should be setting an example.I know it is not mandatory to wear a mask but they should be leading the way in being personally responsible.Rant over.
On a lighter note I was listening to Woman’s Hour and they said that knitting was a science because you have to decode.Who would have thought that.
Back tomorrow

I've read something similar - knitting is really good for keeping the brain active. The amount of knitting I do, my brain should be in contention for Brain of Britain then! (I wish!)

Hope your granddaughter is doing better by now.
ReplyDeleteThat's another negative for M&S - yes I agree they should set an example. Recalling how strict they were back in the day - ran those stores like the military! Had friends who were employees and was often horrified hearing how regimented things were!
We are under a mandatory mask ruling here in Raleigh - must be worn everywhere indoors when away from home. Teens and twenties seem to enjoy NOT following the 'law' but that's hardly a surprise in this day and age. We can remove mask to eat or drink in restaurants - personally I prefer to enjoy meals at home.
