preview

AdvertisementAdvertisementKroger requiring all customers to wear masks at stores nationwideCincinnati-based Kroger announced Wednesday that all customers will be required to wear face masks at stores nationwide.The new mask mandate goes into effect July 22."With the increase in COVID-19 cases across the country, we are committed to doing our part to help reduce the spread of the virus," a statement from Kroger reads. "Starting July 22, we will require all customers in all locations to wear a mask, joining our associates who continue to wear masks."Kroger released its full written mask policy later in the evening on Wednesday, which stated the company recognized that some customers may not be able to wear a mask due to medical reasons."We encourage those customers to consider an alternative option like a face shield or facial covering. If they're unable to wear a mask or an alternative design, we request that they use our eCommerce services like pickup or delivery," Kroger wrote.Kroger stores in the Cincinnati area have already required that customers wear masks.The move echoes that of Walmart, the world's largest retailer, who announced earlier Wednesday that it would also require customers to wear masks.The mask mandate is the latest of many coronavirus-era changes for Kroger.Most recently, the grocery chain announced that its cashiers will no longer provide coin change for most transactions. If exact change can not be provided, customers are asked to either round up — in support of Kroger's Zero Hunger Zero Waste initiative — or have that coin change applied to a customer's loyalty card.If a customer chooses the latter option, that remaining change will automatically apply to the customer's next purchase, Kroger spokesperson Erin Rolfes confirms. Change will still be given at self-checkout stations throughout Kroger stores, Rolfes added.Cincinnati-based Kroger announced Wednesday that all customers will be required to wear face masks at stores nationwide.The new mask mandate goes into effect July 22.Advertisement"With the increase in COVID-19 cases across the country, we are committed to doing our part to help reduce the spread of the virus," a statement from Kroger reads.
