Queues outside Marks and Spencer on Gemini Retail Park this morning, Tuesday. THIS is the scene at Marks and Spencer on Gemini Retail Park this morning as customers pick up some last-minute Christmas shopping. Huge queues have been reported outside the store today, Tuesday – reminiscent of the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, when tailbacks outside supermarkets were commonplace. Even as early as 7am, waiting times stood at nearly half an hour. And as of 9am, shoppers were having to brave the cold with queues outside and inside taking up to 45 minutes before being able to enter the food hall.
