One would hope it won’t be the Morrison’s staff who will have to confront people who either a) shove their way into the store without wearing masks, and/or b) shoppers will claim they’re exempt but haven’t got any proof, but will insist in going in!
Staff shouldn’t be put in a potentially verbally or physically abusive situation. That’s the job of security staff, and I would hope Morrison’s and other stores, insist on this!
Supermarkets shouldn’t have to provide people with masks. There is no excuse for not having one as they can be purchased incredibly cheaply from places like Poundland.
