Safeway Sets Special Senior Citizen/Vulnerable Customer Shopping Hours

I received an email today from Albersons Companies containing an update on their efforts and practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. One thing that immediately stood out was the setting of special shopping hours for senior citizens and other vulnerable shoppers from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They ask that other customers avoid shopping during this time. Local mandates may apply, so check with your local Safeway and Albertsons.

You may want to check with your local food store chain and small markets to see if they are implementing a similar policy.
