Social Distancing:

Following the government's advice on social distancing, to keep our customers and colleagues safe, we will be maintaining social distancing measures across our food stores:

• We have posters and point of sale material on display in all of our stores to provide our customers and colleagues with guidance on social distancing while shopping

• We have floor stickers displayed 2 metres apart to encourage customers to keep their distance in checkout queues and to maintain a safe distance from our colleagues at till points and other shoppers.

• Stores will be cleaning trolleys and baskets throughout the day. 

• In some stores, at busy times we are limiting the number of customers allowed in store at any one time, operating a one in, one out policy.

• We have installed protective safety screens at till points and checkouts in all our food stores.

• We have installed sanitiser units in all our stores for customers to use.

• We are encouraging the use of contactless card payment (£45 Limit) methods wherever possible. We continue to accept Apple Pay and Google Pay as a method of payment.
