Shopworkers aren't police officers and shouldn't be expected to act like them. Wearing a face covering isn't a personal preference - it's a personal responsibility. We urge the shopping public to respect shopworkers and respect the law.

Shame on anyone who abuses shopworkers. You could not buy your essentials without their hard work. Solidarity with @UsdawUnion members. #RespectShopworkers

Remember that from tomorrow, you'll need to wear a face covering when shopping in England, unless you're covered by an exemption. Shopworkers aren't responsible for enforcing the rules - treat them with respect, abuse is #notpartofthejob !
