Sainsbury’s supermarket rule changes in-store and online amid Christmas shopping rush

Sainsbury’s is just one of the supermarkets making changes ahead of Christmas to help ease the flow of customers into the stores. There are also some new rules online which shoppers should be aware of.
From hand sanitiser stations at the entrances to social distancing while in-store, many supermarkets are still experiencing queues outside of the stores.
With queues very likely in the lead up to Christmas, the supermarket is using a virtual queue via an app on your mobile device.
This will be helpful for customers who find themselves in a long queue as the weather gets colder.
Customers without a smartphone can ask a member of staff to be added to the virtual queue, and will be alerted when they can enter the store.
