Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The arrangements for online supermarket services and the hiring of staff are a matter for individual retailers, not the Government or Parliament. A number of retailers have announced plans to prioritise elderly or vulnerable customers.
