Tobacco shops have been allowed to sell masks since late April. The objective: to fight against the spread of the coronavirus. But if, in Montluçon, orders have been placed, many tobacconists have received nothing.

More than 1,800 volunteers responded to the call from the Gedivepro company in Montluçon, to make masks themselves in their homes
Orders but still nothing
“We ordered about ten days ago, but we still have nothing …” And the tobacco shop on avenue Albert-Thomas, in Montluçon, is not the only one waiting for them. Several, like him, have already placed orders … but still do not see the color of these masks.
“They should arrive next week. Finally, I hope, “said Marie-Christine Barrière, tobacconist on Kennedy Avenue.
Currently, one in two customers ask me if I have one. With the daily customers we have, it is a good thing that we can sell them.

Rue des Forges, same speech. “We are waiting for them.” It’s kind of the same problem for everyone. They should arrive soon, that’s all we know. I already have a list of customers who want it. Today there are people who are sick, such as cancer, and cannot get it. It would be normal if they could find them in different shops. We have our place. In tobacco shops, people come all day, asking for it. You have to be able to satisfy them. “

Out of stock
But to satisfy these customers, it is still necessary to be able to place orders. “There is a stock shortage,” says Géraldine Peret, at Celtique, avenue Kennedy. “It’s not even possible to order now. But we’re really going to try to have some. “
Rue Bretonnie, the tobacconist was also unable to order.
“We don’t know when we can get it.” I have been told that I will not be able to order before May 10. It’s very complicated. So I think that supermarkets will take over and that in a tobacco shop, it will be more troubleshooting. “

A breakdown which is slow to arrive and which is not topical for some, like the tobacco shop of the Islands, rue Appienne. “We won’t have any, we don’t want to,” says the manager. “We are not completely sure of the quality of these masks, so we leave that to the pharmacies. “
