Please implement priority shopping hours for the elderly and immune-compromised.

Notify your customers of your priority shopping hours and ask that the public respect this time period to allow more vulnerable customers to pick up the food and supplies they need. Please provide at least 1 - 2 hours of shopping time.

I'd like to urge all major food and clothing outlets to implement this initiative starting from the 25th of March 2020 and include prioritized queuing for these individuals in our communities.

This is a brilliant way to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, flattening the curve and reducing the strain on our medical system. 

Please participate in this petition to show that as a community we can come together and redefine our goal which has become fuzzy and unclear due to the recent pandemic. We need to protect the most vulnerable among us and in doing this, give them a chance to buy the essentials without risk of infection and with groceries on the shelves.

Thank you for taking the time to read this - please share this petition around so we can get as many people and stores on board as possible.

I encourage consumers to please be patient and respectful of these hours and to support the stores that do take part in this initiative.
