New Ban Rule Issues?

 Imposing the new federal ban-rules started today, and a fair number of Germans are pretty peeved.

Focus covered one element.....the limit of customers into grocery stores.

So a typical regular grocery is around 1,200 square meters.  By the new Covid ban-rules, the limit is 50 customers in the store at one time....so there's some guy/gal at the door and supervising your entry.

Figuring a dozen are couples....it'll take up more waiting time.  

Focus was out early today (Sat) and interviewing folks standing there and waiting to get into the grocery.

The best time to now shop, without lines?  Avoid shopping totally at 5 PM is the advice given....otherwise, you might be standing in line for an hour.

How long will this last?  Once we get to spring months and thunderstorms.....with people standing there in the middle of a lightning storm.....I suspect acceptance will dry up real quick.

I don't think the politicians thought much about this management business, and how well it'd go.

As for this kind of resembling old DDR (East Germany)?  Well....their limits were because the goods simply weren't there....this is a case where the goods are there but you may be spending sixty to ninety minutes to get entry to buy them.
