Tölzer was recently surprised that he was encouraged to take a shopping cart to the supermarket, even if he only bought one product. However, the explanation for the measure makes sense.
Bad Tölz - A Tölzer was a little surprised recently when he was shopping in the "Kaufland". At the entrance he was greeted by a security guard who pointed out that he had to take a shopping cart to the supermarket - even if he only wanted to buy one small thing. The customer was a little surprised, because the shopping trolley handles also pose a certain risk of infection with the new Corona virus, the reader wrote in an email to the Tölz courier and quoted an article from the medical journal “The New England Journal of Medicine ”, which says that the virus survives on plastic for a few hours.
So what is behind the new regulation? In fact, there is a requirement that every customer has to take a shopping cart with them, according to the "Kaufland" press office. It is an official requirement that only a limited number of customers are allowed to stay in the branches at the same time. "To implement this measure, we have limited the number of our shopping carts to the corresponding number and ask every customer to use a shopping cart," said Andrea Kübler from Corporate Communications. In this way, one can ensure that the state requirements are met. Of course, this does not apply to customers who are restricted in movement. Security service personnel help implement the requirement. "We disinfect the shopping trolleys wherever possible," Kübler continued. "Our customers can support us by going shopping alone or wearing gloves, if possible."
