Image source, Constantine StoresA shop that set up a system to allow older people to shop with confidence during the coronavirus outbreak says it is “frustrated” to have seen “a huge influx of holiday makers”.
Constantine Bay Stores near Padstow set up the ‘1950s club’ last week, meaning people born before 1950 could exclusively use the shop between 0800 and 0830 each day.
A post on the store’s Facebook page on Sunday said: “Over the weekend we have seen a huge influx of holiday makers in and around Constantine Bay. This is something we find highly frustrating as the government has made very clear that people should be making only necessary travel, not popping in for ice creams and luxury goods.
“We fully appreciate that while we are a business and survive on people purchasing goods from our shop, we feel the need to try and reduce the footfall through the shop in order to protect our staff and customers.
“It is very simple, if one of us does become ill or show any symptoms of this virus we will have no choice but to shut our doors.”
The shop has now reduced its opening hours until Wednesday, with the 1950s club still in place, but everyone else able to use it between 08:30 and 12:00.
From Thursday they will operate a delivery only service.
A grocery shop in a tourist hotspot in Dartmoor is refusing to serve anybody essential items who is not a local resident.

All recreational boat and yacht owners have been asked not to travel to the Isles of Scilly during the coronavirus outbreak.
The St Mary’s Harbour Master said: “This disease affects us all and has placed significant restrictions on a day-to-day basis and we ask that you postpone your visit to the islands until such time that the threat from the COVID-19 disease is much reduced.”
This follows advice from the Council of the Isles of Scilly on Saturday, asking tourists to defer their visit.
Councillor Robert Francis, Chairman of the Council said: “Scilly is a welcoming place and we value our visitors enormously.
"However, given the current unprecedented situation, Government advice to avoid all but essential travel, the likely pressure on public services, and the lack of facilities for visitors, we ask that anyone planning a holiday trip to Scilly defers their visit.
"Please plan to come later in the year when we hope the situation will have eased and we can provide a warm Scillonian welcome.”
The government is telling people not to travel to second homes or tourist accommodation during the coronavirus crisis.
It says non-essential journeys put pressure on local communities and services.
The advice was updated after images emerged of crowds descending on parks, seaside resorts and beauty spots - in defiance of calls to limit social interactions.
The updated guidance says: “Essential travel does not include visits to second homes, camp sites, caravan parks or similar, whether for isolation purposes or holidays.
"People should remain in their primary residence. Not taking these steps puts additional pressure on communities and services that are already at risk.”
