Gloves are distributed to contain the virus, security guards carry out admission checks. Customers can be denied access. Even children are undesirable in some markets …
“Stop! Access only with a shopping cart!” Every minute, two security guards stop in front of Aldi and Konsum on Pfotenhauerstrasse (Johannstadt) customers. They often react puzzled, some only fit in after grumbling.
The shopping cart obligation is intended to help customers keep their distance from one another in the market. The guards regularly use disinfectants themselves and clean the wagons.
