Sunday, 29 March 2020 : From tomorrow, Monday, 30 March 2020, the below changes from Woolworths will come into effect to further support the health and wellbeing of customers and team:
Our dedicated Community Hour* will continue from 7am-8am for the following groups:
Seniors and People with a Disability - Monday, Wednesday & Friday
*NEW* Emergency Services & Healthcare Workers - Tuesday & Thursday
Our teams on checkouts will now rotate every two hours to ensure face-to-face interactions are limited to keep everyone safer
Lastly we ask customers to pack their own shopping bags at the checkout as a further protection measure for both store teams and customers. If a customer's shopping bag is not clean, we will replace it for free.
The above are in addition to social distancing measures implemented by Woolworths earlier this week including:
The rollout of plexiglass screens across our manned checkouts as an additional safeguard for our team members and customers.
A store greeter to wipe down baskets, trolleys and inform customers of recent changes, such as social distancing cues including keeping 1.5m apart, adjusted trading hours and product limit information.
Closing some registers in the self serve and express
