Does anyone else really struggle with shops that have put too many lines and arrows on the floor because of the pandemic? I went to B&Q the other day and I almost burst into tears trying to queue up with my husband because nobody seemed to be queueing where I expected them to be, people were walking in every direction regardless of the arrows, and I felt like my body just did not know what to do with itself so I feel like I paced around awkwardly looking really flustered. Someone even pushed straight in front of me in the queue because they went straight to a till whilst I stood back like I thought I should. The woman was clearly rude, even my husband was taken aback by it and he is definitely not autistic, but he was more distracted at the time by me not knowing where to stand and how worked up I was getting to challenge her so we just waited until she was finished to go next.
Even just typing it out makes me feel anxious! It really puts me off going to certain places if I know they are going to be very busy and chaotic. I know it is a big ask to expect everyone to always walk in an orderly fashion - people are not robots. But I think people should at least try to be aware of what they are meant to be doing. I'm a stickler for rules so I can't cope if people don't follow them and then make it difficult for ME to follow them too.
