The situation has stabilised

There's no queue for petrol at Sainsburys because there's no petrol at Sainsburys.  Yesterday there was such a long complicated queue that no one could get in to buy groceries... Apart from me who parked on the other side of the road... When I got in I said to the lady (singular) on the 1 open till... "Shame no one else can get in here".  She said they'd been diverting the traffic round to the other petrol station entrance but they still clogged up the car park making all the staff late for work to serve the customers that couldn't get there... 

Update.... Sainsburys changed their opening hours to ease congestion. Lady in Birmingham complains she's being discriminated against
