Poll of the Day > Safeway rocks, they are having shopping hours for high risk customers!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sadly it is only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I just missed it (coulda gone today) between 7 am and 9pm.

They also don't open till 6 am now to deep sanitise everything. I am thinking of trying to go tomorrow at 6 am (I can't wait till next tuesday for real food).

I hope more places start having hours only for high risk people, that will help alot, I just hope people actually respect it though as they said they don't check to see if you are, they are just putting up flyers and emailing card members asking them to not go during those hours.

Knowing people, alot will probably decide that is the best time to go even if they are not high risk:(

I heard thats a plot to get all the high risk people in one place and infect them all so theyll die off earlier

You may be joking, but if non-high risk people actually do flock to the store during those hours to avoid lines, it could actually be what happens.

Store we go to has senior citizen only hours every morning now.

So much yellow is here. But I came to ask, how do they know if theyre high risk or not?

It's not enforced so the majority of customers yesterday weren't high risk. It's a new thing so maybe it's just that not everyone got the memo, but considering a lot of these dillweeds line up out the door every day like it's black friday and will go as far as to take stuff out of your cart if they want it, I'm not expecting much respect for the suggestion going forward.

I think Target were the first to start this

I mean high risk is generally the elderly, those with pre-existing conditions including Diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, heart problems and lung problems.

You, generally, know if you have any of those.

I do, so I am being extra careful, but it's really hard because EVERYONE is panicing and going places so you can't really avoid huge groups of people in such a case. Having times for only high risk would work...but it's honor system and honestly there are not that many honorable people now adays (maybe it just seems that way).

Apparently, a guy at work was coming here while sick. Not saying it was the coronavirus. But he was sick...
