Aldi Reveals Six New Changes for Its Customers under Plans to Exit Lockdown

Aldi has revealed six new changes for its customers this weekend under plans to exit the lockdown.

The boss of the discount supermarket wrote to customers earlier today outlining significant changes that will be coming into force in its stores.

CEO Giles Hurley said: "Working together, we have continued to make changes to protect you and our colleagues, and to ensure we can feed the nation, including the most vulnerable, at this unprecedented time.

"Most recently, we have begun providing our store and distribution colleagues with the option of wearing face masks, and of accessing the Government’s Covid-19 testing programme

These moves were in addition to the other measures we have put in place to provide you with a safe, efficient and affordable shopping experience when you visit your local Aldi store."

These include:

Providing gloves to all store and distribution workers

Installing clear screens at more than 7,000 checkouts

Limiting the number of people in store at any one time

Encouraging customers to shop alone, where possible, and adhere to one person per trolley

Installing two-metre floor markers and increased in-store signage promoting physical distancing

Encouraging customers to use contactless payment such as contactless cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay rather than cash, where possible
