Acknowledging everything that is happening. On a road that every single bar has closed we are the only source of alcohol for a community of selfish men and women and a money hungry company willing to put their staff at risk night and day. We have had to pay for our own (contd)

disinfectant supplies, beg for gloves to be sent to us, money handling is still being encouraged and social distancing and reduced hours arent even on the cards.
For the people who are flocking to our shop, you disgust me, there is no other emotion I have to describe the (contd)
