Whole Foods Market, a supermarket chain owned by Amazon, is putting the elderly, disabled and high-risk consumers to the front of the line as COVID-19, the coronavirus pandemic, continues to mandate safety and health rules.

The first hour of grocery pickup at 150 of its stores will be reserved for those 60 years or older, those with disability and those at high-risk in regard to virus infection, according to a press release.

“Throughout the COVID-19 crisis, we have seen an unprecedented demand for grocery delivery and pickup within the communities we serve. In response, Amazon and Whole Foods Market have worked continuously to increase capacity and serve as many customers as possible,” stated the release.

Customers can go to amazon.com/wholefoods, select “pickup,” and build their cart. When ready to check out, they select the first pickup window of the day, which is marked reserved for at-risk customers.
