Did my Wednesday grocery run, though a bit later today (2PM instead of 11AM). Store was quite a bit busier, the checkout line was wrapping around the store, and this is a fairly large Real Canadian Superstore. Not entirely sure why they had let so many people in though since when I was leaving around 3PM, there was now a line up outside yet the store inside was pretty empty. Seemed like there was some disconnect/delay in whoever was counting people and deciding to "close" the store.
They still had the single line for manned checkout lanes with tape on the floor to mark 6ft but now they had the plexiglass shields up around the cashiers. The self checkout though did not have any such lines on the floor, and people were lining up pretty close to eachother.
Mostly stocked this week though, with even some paper products available. Only thing totally missing was hand sanitizer. There was a few bottles of hand soap. At least some sense of normalcy in that regard.
I'm not sure I entirely agree with limiting the number of people in the store though, ultimately I still have to walk by multiple people at close distance while traversing the store. Did my best to keep distance or turn away, but only so much you can do. There was also groups of employees restocking shelves and on break chatting, which weren't following any 6ft distance either.
Starting to think they are going to just have to shut the stores entirely to the public and increase their ability to do pickup orders. None of the RCS/Loblaws around me have any available pickup times though, and that's already 2 weeks booked.
Kudos again to those working the front lines though!
