As part of National autism week, every day between 9am to 10am, Morrisons are making all their stores a calmer and quieter environment, designed to help customers who currently struggle with music and the other noise associated with supermarket shopping. As a reminder they have an ongoing quiet hour every Saturday, which they have been running since last year.
During Quieter Hours, Morrisons stores will:
Dim the lights
Turn music and radio off
Avoid making tannoy announcements
Reduce movement of trolleys and baskets
Turn checkout beeps and other electrical noises down
Place a poster outside to tell customers it’s Quieter Hour.
