Whoa, someone actually texted you in 2020? Oh, nvm, it's just Boris Johnson, telling you to stay the f**k at home

Finally got my bread today.

The way the whole process of shopping is evolving now is:-

(1) People are having to put a helluva lot more effort into doing their shopping - meaning coming into contact with a lot more shoppers than usual, nullifying the purpose of social distancing. This is because of the policy of allowing a maximum defined number of shoppers in the store at any given time means queuing for hours (no exaggeration) to get in... only to find they haven't got what you wanted anyway. Which means joining the queue outside another supermarket...

(2) As a consequence I can see that people are going to give up buying from supermarkets and go back to buying from corner shops that don't have these restrictions which is, incidentally, where I got my bread from.

No, I don't have an easy solution.
