The panic brought us food shortages iirc.

Aldi's in Millfield seem to have a queue all day but not late at night.

Now you've told people that, they'll all go ten minutes before they shut.

I noticed the queue when I passed about 6pm today.
I am sure the queueing is painless but I won't queue like.

The thing is Aldi is open until 10pm so there's no big hurry especially when people are not working so they could wait.
I don't know what the queueing is like but surely it can't be that bad.

No, it's not too bad.
The queue I saw had about 8 people lining up at 2m apart.

I doubt that.
We have Sunday opening hours which means the big shops can only open for 6 hours on that day.
The corner shops have no restrictions, at least that's how it appears.
