Grocery Store Hours for Seniors

[shuvelhead]

I checked our local SOMD grocery stores for those that offer shopping hours designated for senior citizens 60 and older and individuals with compromised immune systems. Some stores haven't yet started doing this but may be anticipating a start date. Shopping hours in SOMD chain stores are also the same in Charles and Calvert. Don't hold me to it because things are rapidly changing, but this is what I found as of today. Unfortunately, there are sure to be others in the stores at the same time who won't observe these short but special time-frames.
Walmart--Tuesdays through 4/28, 6am - 7am. (YIKES, what senior can get to the store at that unGodly hour?!)
Target--Wednesdays 7am - 8am
McKays--Tuesdays and Thursdays 8am-10:30am
Giant--6am - 7am
Food Lion--None (surely they'll jump on the bandwagon soon)
Harris Teeter--None
Weis--None
Dollar General--8am - 9am

If you find out any differently, please let me know.

Most seniors are up that early...

This senior isn't up that early except to take the dogs out.

I just called around PF to get some info: The people I spoke to were not very forthcoming with info. I'm going to say they're just overloaded/tired.

Walmart- PF -Tuesdays: 6 - 7 am - Age 60+ CHECKING IDs
Giant-PF -6am - 7am Seniors No Age given and they don't check IDs or stop anyone else from shopping at the same time.
Weis-PF -None
Safeway-PF -TUES / THURS: 7 - 9 am 60+

Thanks for the correction for Walmart. I was told it was an hour before the store opened at 6:00am. I changed my above post.

Oh, I didn't really even pay attention to the times - I just wanted to call around here in PF to see what the hours were. I live so close to all 3 of those stores, I don't think it's worth my time to scoot out that early.

This senior isn't up that early except to take the dogs out.

Normally, I'm not either, but on those rare occasions that I am and head out, it's nothing but seniors (70+) that I see walking or in stores.
