AEON Stores in Osaka Prefecture Set priority shopping time for elderly people and pregnant women 19:01 on April 26
Since Osaka Prefecture has asked supermarkets to restrict entrance during times of congestion as a measure to prevent the spread of new virus infections, the store in the prefecture of Aeon, a major retailer, has priority over elderly people and pregnant women from the 26th. I am doing business by setting up a time when I can shop.
This initiative began in response to the fact that Osaka Prefecture asked supermarkets to restrict admission during times of congestion as a measure to prevent the spread of infection.
Targeting all 35 stores in the prefecture, we set 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm as the time when seniors and pregnant women can give priority to shopping.
In the store in Nishi-ku, Osaka, two dedicated cash registers were set up according to the time of day, which was used by the elderly, pregnant women, and people with disabilities without waiting.
It also means that the store may restrict entry when it is crowded.
A wheelchair woman using the priority cash register said, "I'm afraid that I'm in a crowded supermarket, so this kind of effort really helps. Today I'm happy to go through the cash register smoothly."
“The AEON Osaka Dome City store” manager Takeshi Aoki said, “I would like those who need it to make use of the priority time zone. We have enough products, so don't be afraid to spend any other time. I want people to shop with a lot of space. "
