I'm sure they'll be some short term processes put in place at Towers once it opens and it will be awful like it will be in any public attraction that reopens.
But trust me, once restrictions are completely lifted, there will be no long term impact on the behaviour of the general public. As a supermarket manager, I've seen this right through from the start of the panic buying to lock down, to the current phase we're now in.
Despite advice being very clear for weeks now (how could it be any clearer, it's everywhere you look!), people are still shopping in groups as if it's a family day out. They're still bringing the hubby, the wife and nan with them for their "essential" trips. They're still brushing past each other, reaching over one another, crowding into the same aisles. They're still opening their wallets full of debit cards and paying by cash. They're still touching everything, picking things up they don't need and dumping it everywhere. They're still approaching staff within inches of their faces. Some are even doing these things whilst wearing virtually useless masks and gloves. They're coming out to buy hot coffee and getting the car washed, even queueing up to pop in for a leisurely browse without buying anything.
The behaviour has been a lot more respectful since lock down - before lockdown many were being grotesque and even violent.
But from what I've seen, I think a huge proportion of the public have learnt nothing from this. Some of the advice is being followed because it has to be, anything that is harder to enforce is being flouted every second of the day. Although I suspect most of this is subconscious habitual stuff rather than a lack of respect.
But I have no doubt that once restrictions are lifted, everything will return to normal. Personal hygiene will go back to how it was before, humans will go back to bustling around breathing down each others necks and many people who currently have the luxury of being able to go through lock down sat at home with their feet up on a pension or with 80% pay will go back to seeing retail workers and cleaners, who are still working right through, as the scum of the earth like they did before.
