shoes? (Genuine question: presumably large supermarkets still have their
clothing departments open, how are they managing?)

In Germany where all shops are open again, H&M have a "try on at home"
policy, so what's advantage is left compared to mail order?

The bike shops indeed have to wipe down and quarantaine a bike that has
been out on a test ride (even the saddle).

I remember when I was younger, being surprised that M&S in Bolton didn't
have rooms to try on clothes (because you were expected to take things home
to try them on) but M&S in Llandudno did (because people generally
travelled further to get there).

Weren't changing rooms a dangerous innovation for ever-conservative M&S?

Made them more susceptible to shop-lifters.

I can remember, perhaps 20 to 30 years ago, being pointed at a staff
staircase to try on some clothes in the Cambridge M&S.

M&S did that many years ago.
