Some shops came up with some creative solutions to the pandemic. Super Mashriq on Ashley Road, St Pauls, offered customers a service through the door. They created a hatch for shopping lists to be passed through, they would then pack up the items, and pass them back through the door. A credit card machine was built into the hatch for payments, and a biscuit tin lid was used to exchange cash. They also offered a call and collect service for people who prefered to call in advance, and a delivery service for vulnerable customers.
