Request major supermarkets to urgently change their merchandising approach,

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Large supermarkets are laid out to maximise sales of non-essential products: how long would it take you to buy milk, eggs, baked beans, butter & bread and how far they are from each other?
Online ordering is inefficient; each order is different, pickers and vans need to tailor each request.

It's time to protect Public Health: supermarkets can change by having a number of prepacked standard bags customers can just collect. This would avoid:
• Having hundreds of people touching and coughing over surfaces and products,
• Putting staff at risk by unnecessary interaction,
• Queues,
• Ordering online & delivery would be sreamlined,
• No more panic buying and discrimination
This virus is a war we all fight as a team; we all have to pull together, large supermarkets are no exception.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This would be a matter for individual retailers to decide on.
