This is hard in our village Tesco, especially with a delivery lorry outside and shelves being filled inside. The shopping algorithm has changed too. Questions like is it nice, is it a good deal, is it local, even is it fair trade, start to take second place to is it here. Trying to negotiate the shelves in the right order and in reasonable time results in some suboptimal decisions. We can’t go far to find a coop because we can’t go far. This is life for a few months or a year or two yet. Better than even more people dying, though.
