One way grocery store aisles... please explain

Now now.. you're using that brain of yours... that's not good.. all that logic and critical thinking. Be careful you don't want the government putting you on a watch list!

comply or you will be punished.

It's retarded.

U shop walmart...no go shop family store. U lose many credit point.

You didn’t know? COVID-19 can only travel one way, it also has a curfew

I can understand why they are there and I can understand why human nature runs contrary. What's the issue?

Could be a social test to weed out contrarians.

Or, it could be a precursor to automated shelve-stockers.

The short version: it's a mind-fuck

Our town ignores all the arrows. They just did that for legal reasons. I don’t even see the arrows anymore.

I'm having a hard time understanding how these one way aisles are supposed to help anything.

So if someone has a virus, they just exposed two entire aisles to their germs, instead of just a small section at one end of an aisle
yes if they are coughing sneezing or talking/spitting through their mask

the idea of the 1 way was to keep 6 ft apart but it is not working. For it to work you have to wait for the person in front of you to finish and move on and not pass them
yes it takes more time everything takes more time with the stupid virus.

have you tried online and curbside or delivery?

Sheep follow the herd.

It has nothing to do with a virus and everything to do with control over the cattle

Yes, it is. I havent paid them any mind and sometimes will even turn around and walk backwards. Lol

But our local Food Lion got rid of the arrows a couple of weeks ago so I do ALL my food shopping there now.

craaazy I know they pissed me off but this makes the entirety make sense,

we'll close the cases together

Clever. That explains it

gay. and american.

entirely interchangeable at this point.

Fuck you, black lives matter.

oh, LGBTQIA+ friendly!

We ignore them in the store dumb enough to do this in our town.

I often go back and forth in an aisle looking for things, especially when they put things in places that don't make sense, which was done on purpose to get people to spend MORE time in the store in the first place.

hEY THERE BEAR GIRL...I HAVE TO COME CLEAN. i cheat sometimes.. when no one is looking?

If you can't even talk without germs passing through the mask, then the masks really are worthless.

No one is going to wait for the person in front of them because people stop in the aisle and screw around on their phones for 20 minutes. Am I just supposed to stand there the whole time?

And no, I'm not going to order milk and bread online.

say what's real

Coronavirus only travels in one direction. This is why it's critical to follow the rules to remain safe.

It's meant to social distance. Six feet. Youre not supposed to go forward down the aisle until the person in front of you does. And no going the opposite direction.

But people ignore it.

Why?

Because the shelves are half empty and prices thru the roof. People get to the place where their wanted product was/is. They either see it's all out or see the high price and they are stunned. Standing there in a disbelief, staring, like the situation is magically going to fix itself.

The person behind them tries to be patient but, ultimaty, gets irritated and passes, closer than 6 feet.

Or...obstunate MAGAts just say "Fuck it, I'll do what I want!!!"

History
Food Lion was founded in 1972 in Salisbury, North Carolina, as Food Town by Wilson Smith, Ralph Ketner, and Brown Ketner. The Food Town chain was acquired by the Belgium-based Delhaize Group grocery company in 1974.[5] In June 2015, it was announced that Food Lion's parent company, the Delhaize Group, and Ahold would merge into Ahold Delhaize. This merger was completed in July 2016.[6]

The Food Lion name was adopted in 1983; as Food Town expanded into Virginia, the chain encountered several stores called Foodtown in the Richmond area. Expansion into Maryland would have been a bigger problem since about 100 independent, but affiliated, stores were called Food Town. Because Delhaize had a lion in its logo, Food Town had asked to use it on product labels and new store signs. Ralph Ketner realized "lion" needed only two new letters and the movement of another in the chain's signs. On December 12, 1982, Ketner announced the name change to "Food Lion," and by the end of March 1983, all stores had been rebranded.[7] The name change, while puzzling for American customers, made economic and historic sense, as Delhaize was once known as "Delhaize Le Lion."

no problem. Your choice! Less stressful for some.

I've been ignoring them too, and no one has said anything.

Many times I have to change direction in an aisle because the item I intended to get has been moved from where it usually is. I'm not going one way down the aisle multiple times just to figure out what they've done with it this week. Leave it in one spot!
