Sainsbury’s introduces ‘slow shopping’ for elderly shoppers
A British supermarket is trialling a weekly ‘slow shopping’ session to help elderly or vulnerable people shop in a “safe” and relaxed environment.
It aims to make shopping easier for people with anxiety or mental illness, those who are elderly or have disabilities, and those with dementia. It offers dedicated times where staff are aware of the needs of shoppers and greet them before helping them shop.
