I mean what's different about the rate at which we shop apart from we wear masks now? Why do they need to do this nonsense and make us queue in the cold and wet outdoors (Waitrose Wokingham)?

They're private premises and absolutely entitled to decide who comes in.

In the case of limiting numbers of people from each household, I suspect it's to make it harder for panic buyers from the same household to go round in packs filling multiple trolleys and defeating quantity restrictions.
