Andrew Cooper visited the Tesco superstore in Clowne last Thursday to do some shopping for his elderly parents amid the coronavirus crisis.
Mr Cooper said: “The social distancing guidelines from the UK Government were not being followed by customers or staff.

“Nether of these were available – nor was there any sign of any staff members cleaning trolleys.
“To add insult to injury I was only allowed to buy one bottle of milk.
“These rationing measures are forcing people to make more visits to the store than they normally would, which is again increasing the risk of passing on Covid-19.”

A Tesco spokesperson said: “We’re sorry this customer was disappointed during their visit to their local store.
“We’ve spoken to the store manager who has confirmed that all trolleys are being disinfected and hand sanitiser is available in the store.
“She will be working to ensure that these measures continue so we can protect customers and colleagues.
