A similar policy could allow elderly and immune-compromised to shop without exposure to the rest of the population.
. “So @WholeFoods @Safeway @Walmart @Publix @Albertsons @GiantFood @kroger @HEB @LidlUS @FoodLion @MarketBasket @Piggly_Wiggly please unite and offer 2 hours of shopping for elderly over 60 and/or shopping+delivery system for elderly #Savinglifes @SpeakerPelosi @senatemajldr @VP.”
Andrés isn’t alone in this idea. Starting today, Woolworths Supermarket—Australia’s largest supermarket chain —launched a policy allowing the elderly to enter with an official ID an hour before everyone else to get the first pickings after the store’s been restocked.
However, in America, grocery stores have been slower to take similar actions. Yesterday, the government of Jersey City, New Jersey,that it would “be reaching out to all of the local grocery stores + we’re going to be setting aside hours at supermarkets for elderly residents, ppl w/disabilities and pregnant residents only, during the hours of 9-11am starting Tuesday 3/17.” And
, Jack Bradley—mayor of Lorain, Ohio—had similar discussions with supermarkets in his city of about 65,000 people.Photo taken on March 17, 2020 shows the seniors shopping at a Woolworths supermarket in Canberra, Australia.Still, only two different grocery chains responded to José Andrés tweet, and just one of them said they were taking his suggestion.
