Tesco's genius solution to stop customers entering stores without face masks

Tesco has announced a clever scheme to combat people entering stores without wearing a face mask.

The  Scottish Government  made it compulsory to wear face coverings when entering shops during the pandemic.

However, those who are unable to wear a mask due to a medical condition are exempt.

Tesco previously confirmed it would have signs at the door to remind customers to wear a mask.

The supermarket giant has now gone one step further by selling face masks at the entrance for those who don't have one, The Liverpool Echo.

This means shoppers who have forgotten a mask can still do their groceries by buying one of Tesco's mask.

Tesco has also confirmed that some staff members may be spotted without a mask due to medical reasons after a complained on Twitter following a recent visit.

Tesco tweeted: "We’ve asked all our customer-facing colleagues to wear face coverings."

The supermarket giant added: "There may be some colleagues, though, who are not wearing masks for medical or safety reasons. These reasons are set out by the government."

It comes after Morrisons launched a new scheme for shoppers who are exempt from wearing face masks.

The supermarket is giving out sunflower lanyards to shoppers with hidden disabilities which indicate they may need additional assistance in store.

The new  initiative  aims to make life easier for those with hidden disabilities, such as anxiety, claustrophobia and autism.
