I still mostly end up shopping during the red periods but even then Coop is never what I would describe as crowded. I rarely pass close to other people, because the shop is laid out like a circle: enter at one end, loop all the way around, pay and exit next to the entrance. In ICA I often have to step aside into an aisle or otherwise walk uncomfortably close to people, because their layout is more tangled.<\/p>\n<p>It is mandatory for shops to limit the number of people inside based on the available floor space. I think it&#8217;s one person per 10 sq m. ICA takes this half-seriously at best. There&#8217;s a sign that only 40 people are allowed inside, but there is no way to know how many are there, so I&#8217;m not sure what the point is. Coop on the other hand has a nifty system: they use the number of baskets to control the number of people. Every shopper has to take a basket, and when the baskets run out, you know the limit has been reached.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily_3\/2231_covid_sign_2.jpg\" class=\"x45y6\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The only times I leave the house these days are for walks, and for grocery shopping.
