This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This would be a decision for individual retailers, not the UK Government or Parliament. In any case, it could also prevent people with disabilities or elderly people from being able to access groceries.
