Munich - The strict regulations of the government have apparently not been enough: In order to be able to comply with the requirements for maintaining distance, some Aldi Süd branches are now taking a stricter measure. Customers can only enter the discounter with a shopping cart .
"By using the shopping trolleys, colleagues ensure that the minimum distance of 1.5 meters is maintained," the discounter chain says on its homepage. In addition, a further restriction is possible in some branches with a high customer volume.
Aldi: Discounters can sometimes only be entered with shopping carts
In addition to the shopping trolley obligation, there may also be admission restrictions or admission controls in some Aldi discounters, it says in the message. Above all, the use of the car should help to be able to more easily comply with the distance regulation of 1.5 meters and thus * protect * customers and employees from the risk of infection.

Apparently Aldi Süd is also responding to customer demands. Because these had already complained in social media about the crowded supermarkets * - it was "impossible" to keep a user complains on Instagram. Another user was even “stunned” by the condition. The "watchdog" just stood around, she criticizes.
Aldi customers have to expect strict distance regulations in branches
The chain has been providing for a long time to contain the Covid-19 danger in the discounters. Distance markings on the floor, acrylic glass panels in front of the cash register or the request for contactless payment. There are also customers who take a shopping cart obligation with humor. "Keep a shopping cart clear" suggests a user as a general rule in everyday life.

At the start of the corona pandemic , Aldi even met the unexpectedly high demand for disinfectants . In a special campaign planned months in advance , disinfectants and other hygiene products were on offer. In addition, there was a “pasta transport” recently - this should also reassure all pasta lovers in times of hamster purchases.
