Open supermarkets for elderly and pregnant woman only at dedicated time
Hello I'd like supermarkets to open two hour dedicated slot for pregnant and elderly individuals to allow them to get supplies while avoiding the madness of stock pilers
I was physically pushed aside in supermarket while shopping for milk
I'm thirty three weeks pregnant
Strongly feel we need to look after our most vulnerable

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The opening arrangements for supermarkets are a matter for individual retailers, not the Government or Parliament. A number of retailers have announced plans to open early for elderly or vulnerable customers. You should contact your local supermarket to find out if they have put such arrangements in place.
The Government has made certain changes to enable supermarkets to work together during the coronavirus outbreak, particularly to serve customers who are elderly, ill or vulnerable: www.gov.uk/government/news/supermarkets-to-join-forces-to-feed-the-nation
