Schnucks limits customers to one per household amid coronavirus pandemic

In a continuing effort to encourage social distancing, Schnucks stores began limiting the number of customers inside stores by asking that there be only one shopper per household when possible.

“While it is our hope that customers will understand and abide by this policy, we also recognize that there are situations where it is simply not possible – be it a single parent who has no childcare options, an elderly customer who needs assistance from a friend or relative, or a customer with other needs,” the company said in a news release Saturday.

Store teams have been told to “exercise judgment in these situations” to ensure that customers can complete shopping trips and maintain social distancing guidelines.

On April 1, Dierbergs announced it was limiting customers to one per household inside its grocery stores.
