So now, certain stores have implemented one-way aisles, meaning you can only enter them from a certain end. If you want paper towels, you enter that aisle from near the entrance; you have to instead go down the soup aisle, go to the end, then enter the paper towel aisle near the back of the store.
I at first had a hard time following this policy being for years, I and everyone else shop the normal way and enter from wherever I am. This is a pretty clever idea someone came up with as it was meant to cut down on the number people on any given aisle, and to have people do their social distancing.
Unfortunately, we have "entitled" people who don't feel as if they need to follow these rules. Yesterday, I was in a Publix, there was a cart with paper towels on it. One woman saw this, and started texting someone about it. Where did she stop at? Right next to the cart, which means she was blocking the entire aisle! To be polite, I waited a full minute thinking she would send a quick message, then move on. Nope, she was writing a freaking novel, and I finally said "excuse me!", to which she nearly jumped out of her shoes with some annoyance! Yep, I was being rude to her because I wanted to get down the aisle and get what I needed. Never mind that she was creating a roadblock.
To keep the stores safe, they also have implemented one entrance and one exit instead of entering wherever you wanted. Yet, they still have people coming and going where they want, even when managers remind these customers. And of course, those are the same customers without a face mask, and who stand close to you, even though the signs are there as well as the places on the floor showing six foot intervals.
These are some of the reasons why Covid 19 is not going away anytime soon, because people like this won't follow the rules.
