Worried about going out, especially to the shops, due to mobility

This is my first message here ? I've come here to find out if there are people struggling like I am at the moment. I am worried about going out, especially to the shops. I have mobility issues and a blue badge but I can't stand in long queues without getting tired. Is there anyone else struggling with this? I don't want to become more isolated than I already am.
Thanks ?
Thanks ?

Hi @cetm01 and a warm welcome to the community!
You most certainly are not alone with this. Have you spoken with your local shops? They might be able to implement a system so people who are unable to queue would have that support.
Please do let us know how you get on and I hope others are able to share their experiences with you.Scope -
