Supermarket Changes
1) Make Supermarkets all do night shifts for their shelf-stackers so they're not getting in the way of customers, or vice-versa customers in their way, and limit infection spread to/from supermarket staff. Only some limited shelf-stackers need to be day shift to replenish some stock as the day goes on.
2) Make Supermarkets disinfect all of their product packaging, especially plastic and certain types of packaging that the virus can stick to for days, so that we as virus-conscious customers don't have to, while other less safe customers don't run a risk of infecting themselves.
3) Increase the 2 metre rule for supermarket queues to 3 metres for safety precaution but also so that we don't feel as cheated by not being able to meet up with family while honouring the 2 metres, yet can be 2 metres away from complete strangers. This needs to be less close. While with family we need to have a tiny little more flexibility.
4) Give supermarkets a universal approach to handling customers.

Why the contribution is important
The supermarkets are still a main meeting point of everyone in a town or area. These places need to be carefully under review as possible spreading points of the virus.
It's also not fair we're still interacting somewhat in a supermarket but not at all with our families.

" Make Supermarkets disinfect all of their product packaging....". There are literally thousands of items that they would need to do this with. Even if they had the staff,, which would be a lot of staff, there would not be the facilities to do that. Again, more staff means increased prices. What about loose fruit and veg?
"Increase the 2 metre rule for supermarket queues to 3 metres.....". All this would do is make for longer queues. This would mean having fewer people in the shop and in some shops, you would be stuck in an aisle waiting to get passed people in the queue.
"Give supermarkets a universal approach to handling customers." Totally agree with this. In some cases the same company will have different rules in different areas.
