SUPERMARKET workers don t feel safe due to the lack of social distancing and abuse from a minority of customers, says a Plaid Cymru Member of Senedd. North Wales MS Llyr Gruffydd has expressed concern for the safety of supermarket workers after receiving messages about social distancing. In addition to the safety of staff and customers, he said that the worst-case scenario would be supermarkets not being able to stay open because of rising infection rates or self-isolation among workers. He said: Supermarket workers have been key workers throughout the pandemic and are expressing concern about the failure to ensure that safety guidance is being adhered to. In this current lockdown, we re seeing looser rules operating in terms of allowing customers into supermarkets and fewer restrictions despite the worsening situation. It s worse now than during the first wave but some supermarket managers seem to have thrown out that safety-first approach.
