Corner shops are reflecting the best and worst of us in lockdown

Post by Zoe Williams

We rightly praise shopkeepers trying to do the best for their customers. But I’ll never forgive the price-gougers exploiting the pandemic

Heroes and villains of the business world are quite boring: Richard Branson is always the villain; James Timpson is always the hero. We didn’t need a crisis to learn this; any fool could have said it a decade ago. Timpson has been rehabilitating prisoners, fixing them up with employment upon release, actually setting up training workshops in some jails, for years. And Branson has been the man he is, also for years.

Corner shops, however, are less clear cut: I am fascinated by the raw emotion they ignite, and am obsessed with whether or not I will maintain my fierce new loyalties and hatreds once lockdown is lifted, or forget them within a week.

So, there was an everything-and-nothing shop I always felt guilty about, after a small supermarket opened and just sold more, better, cheaper stuff. But since lockdown, they have turned out to be price gougers. Full fiver-for-hand-sanitiser, loo-roll-out-the-back-for-roughly-the-price-of-drugs bad guys, the kind of people who would swap you a jar of jam for an emerald broach in the middle of a siege. About three weeks in, they stopped serving people at all, and would only serve Deliveroo drivers, through a hatch; fags for £25 and whisky for the kind of price that even someone in the grip of delirium tremens should think twice about.

“Are you for real,” I asked, trying to score some Carlsberg through the hatch, “after all the Haribo and Monster Munch I’ve detoured here for, to keep morale up?” “Yes, darling,” they said, deploying this empty endearment as if their hands were tied by the gods of health and safety.

But then there is an establishment with a surprising but very niche butchery counter and a hardware section out the back, known to us as the testicles-and-fuses shop. I never thought I would be able to buy Nutella in there. Nor did I expect much reciprocal loyalty, given how seldom I needed the gonads of a lamb. Oh, mate. They have deeper mines of Nutella than I knew there were in the world, and are like the Euripides of DIY. If I am back on Ocado, eight seconds after normal life resumes, I shall have severely disappointed myself.

News is under threat ...

… just when we need it the most. Millions of readers around the world are flocking to the Guardian in search of honest, authoritative, fact-based reporting that can help them understand the biggest challenge we have faced in our lifetime. But at this crucial moment, news organisations are facing an unprecedented existential challenge. As businesses everywhere feel the pinch, the advertising revenue that has long helped sustain our journalism continues to plummet. We need your help to fill the gap.

We believe every one of us deserves equal access to quality news and measured explanation. So, unlike many others, we made a different choice: to keep Guardian journalism open for all, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This would not be possible without financial contributions from our readers, who now support our work from 180 countries around the world.

We have upheld our editorial independence in the face of the disintegration of traditional media – with social platforms giving rise to misinformation, the seemingly unstoppable rise of big tech and independent voices being squashed by commercial ownership. The Guardian’s independence means we can set our own agenda and voice our own opinions. Our journalism is free from commercial and political bias – never influenced by billionaire owners or shareholders. This makes us different. It means we can challenge the powerful without fear and give a voice to those less heard.

Reader financial support has meant we can keep investigating, disentangling and interrogating. It has protected our independence, which has never been so critical. We are so grateful.

We need your support so we can keep delivering quality journalism that’s open and independent. And that is here for the long term. Every reader contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. Support the Guardian from as little as $1 – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.

    Hang a Shelf With an Old Belt

    Hanging shelf with books
    Want to show off a couple of small prized possessions? This belt shelf from Ronja, the dexterous blogger behind Nur-Noch, is a smart idea that's cheap and easy to create. All you need to get started is a wood board and an old suede or leather belt. In this instance, Ronja used an IVAR shelf that she picked up at IKEA for less than $5.
    If you want to get creative, you can use a skateboard deck or rectangular platter instead of a traditional wood shelf for this project.

    Turn Wood Slices Into Shelving

    Wood shelf
    Becky, the resourceful homeowner who pens Humboldt Art Department, created this rustic shelf using wedge slices from a tree trunk she found in the park. The keyhole brackets used to hang it cost her only $0.99.
    This kind of wedge slice is cut out of the trunk whenever a tree trimmer is cutting down a tree. Be on the lookout for city tree crews or pro tree services working in the neighborhood; you may find such wedges free for the asking.

    Shelf with cactus' on them
    Miss Lotte, from Nur-Noch, transformed a narrow wooden box into a smart shelf. The project begin with sawing the box in half lengthwise, using a circular saw. Then, one end is cut off each box half. Finally, the cut ends are joined together to form a long, narrow shelf. The newly created shelf is then attached to the wall with fasteners driven through the back edge of the shelf and into wall studs.
    The wood box used to create this project was a roadside treasure. To find a few gems of your own, keep your eyes peeled for bulk trash days in your area.

    Build Floor-to-Ceiling Storage Shelves With Apple Crates

    Cloth shelves
    You don't need an extra closet when you have a dozen apple crates. Ronja from Nur-Noch created a floor-to-ceiling shelving unit using old containers that she painted and then fastened to a wall.
    A similar shelving style can be created from peach crates or any other wooden produce container.
