I have now mastered the self service tills in supermarkets and my credit card is contactless. However yesterday I needed to call for help and the assistant stood right next to me, though of course we were both wearing masks. I then realised how close I was to other people using the tills. Now I'm wondering if I should go back to queueing at a distance from other shoppers and be served by someone who is behind a screen.
Wishing everyone well.

Unfortunately this is my experience also. I noticed that before masks were mandatory, those wearing them forgot about social distancing. This is now widespread.
I now only go into shops where I know what I want and can be out in under 5 mins. No more browsing for me.
If the government thought the wearing of masks would encourage people back into the shops, they were wrong. Numbers suggest footfall has actually fallen since there introduction.
