Costco to Cut Back on Special Shopping Hours for Seniors, Limit Chicken Purchases

Costco announced that beginning July 13, the big-box retailer will reduce its operating hours for seniors to two days a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., reports the Today Show . The shopping hours were previously held Monday through Friday. Although restrictions on meat purchases have been lifted in recent weeks, Costco has imposed a limit on fresh poultry purchases of two items per member. Cutting back hours for senior shopping is one of several policies Costco is revising as states begin allowing various businesses to reopen. Employees and shoppers are still required to wear face coverings, and Costco will continue to provide priority access to healthcare workers and first responders for the foreseeable future. Sitting down at food courts is still disallowed, but many have reopened for limited takeout service.
