Dark green Waitrose sign with light green and white text titled ‘Coffee closed for now’, from Waitrose & Partners, Finchley and of the type used in Waitrose shops during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020

With COVID-19 cases rising across the United Kingdom, staff absences in supermarkets meant that non-essential services were often closed. Many found themselves working in different roles to try to keep up with growing demand but reduced supplies.
