Tesco is introducing a special shopping hour this Sunday for its workers and NHS staff.
Tomorrow (Sunday), those eligible will be invited to browse an hour before traditional shop opening.
It's part of a range of measures the store has introduced to try and stop panic-buying and ensure there is enough food for everybody left on the shelves.
From this Sunday, and every following Sunday, all Tesco stores (except Express stores) will prioritise a browsing hour before checkouts open for NHS workers.

From Thursday 19th March we will be implementing some changes in-store - changes to simplify what we do, create the most helpful shopping experience we can, and support our hard-working colleagues.

The supermarket has dedicated special one-hour slots for the elderly and vulnerable on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 9am and 10am.
Marks and Spencer is doing something similar. It is reserving the first hour of trade every day for NHS workers and the elderly.
