Aldi, Lidl and Co: This is how employees deal with corona rule breakers
The many signs and information boards in German food retailers are, in addition to the mask requirement, one of the measures that reduce the invisible danger of the
coronavirus
becomes visible.
According to the
infection protection
laws of the federal states, the
supermarkets are
obliged to put up the warning notices.
For many customers, the hints have meanwhile become sad, but necessary everyday life.
Anyone who does not
adhere
to the
Corona measures
in the supermarkets must expect a house ban.
In some cases there have also been police operations.
If customers refuse to put on a mask, the employees from Rewe, Aldi and Edeka usually first of all kindly inform the rule breaker about his behavior.
Of course, anyone
who does not
adhere
to the
corona
rules does not automatically have to pursue rebellious intentions.
Everyone knows it: In the hustle and bustle of shopping, the mask accidentally slips off your nose or you forget to keep the necessary distance when queuing at the checkout.
If the customer refuses to comply with the
corona measures
even after the first notice
, a house ban is often issued and the police are contacted in extreme cases.
Aldi, Lidl and Co: These rules apply in supermarkets
The background: Since spring 2020, a
mask requirement has been
in force in all supermarkets
across Germany
.
This was
tightened
again
at the
Corona press conference of
the federal and state governments on Tuesday with the obligation to wear
FFP2 masks
.
It is particularly important to ensure that the mask covers the mouth and nose.
The
mask requirement
does not only apply from the entrance of the supermarket, but already in the parking lot.
In addition to the
mask requirement
,
Aldi
,
Lidl
and Co. have a minimum distance of 1.5 to 2 meters.
To control admission, more and more supermarkets are using the so-called traffic light system.
Retailers like
Aldi
,
Lidl
or
Rewe
count the number of customers in the supermarket with infrared light.
If there are too many customers in the store, the traffic light turns red and new customers are temporarily refused entry.
Other supermarkets oblige their customers
to use
a
shopping cart or shopping
basket when visiting the store, regardless of the size of the shop
.
If there are no more shopping baskets at the entrance, customers will be refused entry.
Another aspect is not a fixed rule, but at least a welcome one.
The
contactless payment
.
Before
Corona,
paying small amounts by card was often punished with annoyed glances from other people waiting, including the cashiers, but it has now become the most popular means of payment.
According to a representative survey, 79 percent of respondents prefer the card, smartphone or smartwatch to pay.
Contactless payment is not only convenient, it also reduces the risk of infection for customers and cashiers.
