Just what do they have in their that makes it so necessary to stand in the rain to queue up to get in??????
I’m not a B & M customer, but my guess is it’s not what’s in there which draws the customers at the moment, but the fact they are providing an excuse for people to leave their homes.
People are sick and tired of not being able to go anywhere or do anything, so are grabbing any opportunities presented to them to legitimise a trip to the shops. I drove by a Range store yesterday - not only was I surprised to see it even open, but the queue must have been a well struck 4-iron long. The same went for the queues for the drive through KFC and McDonalds on the same complex - both far, far busier than they normally are.
People have had enough. Simple as that. We all have to hope and pray that science saves the day, because we certainly can’t rely on people continuing to follow the rules to get us out of this mess.
