Supermarket staff: how has coronavirus affected your work?

Are you under extra pressure? Do you feel more appreciated? And should the country be clapping for you too?

High streets feel emptier than ever, yet there are queues outside supermarkets and anyone trying to book an online delivery faces a long wait. With the country relying upon supermarkets to keep us fed, we want to know how it feels to be working in one of these stores on the frontline.

Has your health been affected and how are your colleagues? What is your workload like now and has your employer done enough to keep you safe?

How is morale in your store? Are you taking pride in the essential work you are doing? Do you feel more appreciated and respected now than you were before? Have customers given you messages of support or thanks? Should we also be clapping for supermarket staff?
