Useful info on Supermarkets received from NHS
I believe the following information is accurate in relation to supermarkets and specific time periods for NHS workers and older people. As you all have an NHS badge you can utilise that to do your shopping at selected times if you wish. Please keep your NHS badges tucked away until asked for proof as we have had some staff getting their ID’s stolen!
Tesco – reduced opening hours from 6am to 10pm. Also NHS staff can attend Sundays from 9am to shop but tils are not open until 10am. Last weekend this caused bedlam so I don’t recommend you do this. To check your local Tesco store, visit: tesco.com/store-locator/uk/
