For elderly people who usually have difficulty shopping alone, such as using a pedestrian device, and people with physical disabilities, the store clerk will support them at the store before the store opens so that they can shop slowly. An initiative was made at a clothing store in Kochi City.

This is the first time this has been done in collaboration with a clothing chain store, Kochi City, and the Social Welfare Council.



On the 30th, at a clothing store in Joyama-cho, Kochi City, about 30 people living in facilities for the elderly visited the store about an hour before the normal opening time.



Some of the visitors usually use a walker to walk, and they are shopping by having the clerk bring the clothes that are displayed in a place that they cannot reach. rice field.

For the deaf and hard of hearing, the staff of the Regional Comprehensive Support Center helped with the shopping by writing.



Since it was inside the store before it opened, there were no other customers, so the visitors seemed to enjoy shopping slowly by chatting with the clerk.



Elderly people who shopped said, "I haven't come much, but I'm glad that they were kind enough to serve customers and I was surprised to find clothes for us." It's difficult, so I was able to shop for the first time in a while and refresh myself. "
