Argos

On my ride out today there was a massive queue for Argos. Anyone know how it could be an essential shop to warrant opening in a T4 area. Dumbass's.

NI caught onto that, lots of shops started doing click n collect only to get around closing. Now the executive stopped CnC

It sells PPE?

 

[vickster]

Click and collect is still allowed and perhaps returns?

I know it's nothing the first lockdown didn't teach us but people really are stupid.

Someone asked on twitter this morning could she drive nearly 60miles one way, to go for a walk and a coffee.

Which part of essential travel wasn't understood?

You can imagine the conversation 'How did they become so I'll?' 'Well it was absolutely vital we collected a new toaster, so it was worth them nearly dying for'.

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

That toast and jam was literally to die for

If it was the talkie toaster, I'd have been there

According to the wife who saw it on Facebook so it must be true the queues to get into Meadow Hell were 1/4 mile long.

Cycled thro peckham the other day and there was a long queue outside argos.i would have hoped that folk would have discovered something else to do during the virus hell. Sad thing is successive governments of all stripes have promoted shopping as some sort of engine of the economy. The germans know better.

The germans know better.

Pretty sure I remember shops in Germany being some of the first to open after the original lockdown, things like Book shops if I recall correctly.

No queues in Argos in Tier 2 Tinytown.
Had to pop in for a replacement iron yesterday as mine died just before Christmas

 

[Oldhippy]

With the greatest respect is an iron a can't do without until its safer?

 

[Slick]

Tier 2 innit.

Easier up with us with the entire mainland in the tier 4.
