Morrisons is ending its home delivery option from 50 shops across the country - with 1,400 employees offered other roles or asked to take voluntary redundancy.
The supermarket scaled up its home delivery service during the pandemic, when many shoppers were not able to visit physical stores, but now says the service is no longer needed at that level.
A Morrisons spokesman told the Mirror : "At the start of the Covid-19 pandemic we rapidly grew our store home delivery service to serve the many customers who moved from shopping in store to online.
"As we enter this next phase of the pandemic and with many restrictions now eased, we must now adapt and make some changes to the size of our online operation to meet our customer demands."
The change will come into effect from next month, October.
The spokesperson added: "All colleagues affected by these proposed changes will be given the opportunity to either move into an alternative role within our business or apply for voluntary redundancy.
"As part of this consultation process we will be offering all hourly-paid colleagues within affected stores the opportunity to also apply for voluntary redundancy.
"We are consulting closely with Usdaw on all proposed changes.”
Morrisons says all customers currently able to get home delivery will still be able to access the service.
