Sainsbury's updates guidance on shopping in stores with list of new rules

Sainsbury's has updated its guidance for customers shopping in stores.

The supermarket, like all stores across the UK, has already implemented strict social distancing rules, including two-metre signage and Perspex screens at tills.

But now Sainsbury's is asking customers to shop "one adult at a time" in bid to to keep shoppers safe whilst visiting its stores.

The supermarket has updated its website with additional safety measures, reports Liverpool Echo, as coronavirus cases across the UK surge.

It said: "We are asking everyone to only send one adult per household to our shops.

"This helps us keep people a safe distance apart and also helps to reduce queues to get into stores. Our store teams will be asking groups with more than one adult to choose one adult to shop and will ask other adults to wait.

"Children are welcome if they are not able to stay at home."

The supermarket has also reduced the number of checkouts in supermarkets, convenience stores and petrol stations and has added a new queuing system in place outside stores.

Sainsbury's is also asking shoppers to follow official guidelines for their local area and wear a face mask, unless you are exempt, once inside stores.

If you forget your face covering, staff will help you find one.

In Wales, new coronavirus guidelines mean you won't be able to purchase alcohol after 10pm.

Sainsbury's said: "Due to recent changes in the Welsh government’s coronavirus guidelines, we are unable to deliver alcohol past 10pm.

"If you have a slot booked after 10pm containing alcohol please amend your basket or choose a new delivery slot."

The new rules come as Sainsbury's launches its annual half price toy sale this year.

It's thought there will be around 1,000 toys reduced from some of the big name brands that Sainsbury's stocks.

These include LEGO, Fortnite, Barbie, Paw Patrol and more, Sainsbury's has confirmed to WalesOnline.

So if you're planning to get a bargain ahead of Christmas it's worth taking note of all the new guidelines. Find out more about the Sainsbury's 2020 toy sale here.
