5 Ways We’re Keeping You Safe Instore this Christmas

A lot has changed this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have all experienced two nationwide lockdowns, the term ‘zoom quiz’ will forever live on in our memories, and of course, the way we shop has been flipped on its head.

As an essential retailer Superdrug are still open, and this Christmas we want you to feel safe when you visit your local store. So, we’ve put lots of measures in place to do just that!

If you’re unsure of how things have changed, here are five things to look out for in our stores that we have implemented to ensure our customers and colleagues remain healthy and happy this festive season. *

1. Limited Capacity

To ensure everyone can stick to the 2-metre social distancing guideline, we have reduced the number of people allowed in our stores at any one time. In some of our smaller stores, you may have to wait outside until a member of staff says it is okay for you to come in. Please listen to their guidance to ensure everyone can shop in comfort.

2. Mandatory Face Coverings

All of our staff are required to wear a face-covering while instore and when interacting with customers. We ask that all customers also wear a face covering when visiting a store that covers both their nose and mouth. If you need to stock up, you can shop online for them here: Face masks and coverings.

3. Screen at Tills

When you come into the store, you will see that we have installed screens at all our till points to reduce contact between our staff and customers. Don’t worry our staff will still be able to hear you and answer any questions you may have!

4. Card payments Only

For the time being, we are unable to accept cash at any of our tills. Please pay by a card, or you can use contactless payment up to the value of £45.

5. Removal of Testers

We understand that being able to test a product instore is one of the easiest ways to find the perfect gift or treat for yourself. However, we have had to remove testers from our shelves to stop them from being handled by multiple people. If you wish to smell a new perfume, our staff will be more than happy to spray this for you on a piece of blotting paper or advise you further on a product you like the look of!

We look forward to welcoming you to our stores over the Christmas period. As always, we will continue to monitor the current situation and will put into place anything necessary to ensure our customers and colleagues are always happy and healthy!
