You know there is a very ironic contradiction in your last two sentences. Name me an army that has been given the powers you want and not shown wanting in retrospect? Chilling... |

I'd like to believe that but I'm shopping online for elderly parents a few hundred miles away with Asda and the number of items that are out of stock and no alternatives available is very high. |

You're unlucky Supacat.
Friends in Bridgend, Wales said their Asda was pretty well stocked. Supermarkets in Harlow looked ok when my Brother-in-law went. Up here in Norwich, we seem to have nearly everything. There are bits and pieces that are unavailable (toilet cleaner, bizarrely for our local Sainsbury's). The supermarket's have asked their suppliers to concentrate on core products so if you are after something non-standard, you may well find the shelves bare. Morrison's said they were selling 60 different types of sausage and 17 types of bread. At times like this, a standard loaf of sliced and a packet of pork sausages will do fine. I was told last week that a local electrical shop (part of the Euronics group) could not get freezers as every man and his dog were buying them so they could stock up. It is a fact* that food in freezers never gets eaten (dragging a plastic box out of ours which has a nondescript meat and sauce combination dated January 1985  )
*it's not a fact, I just made that up for a cheap laugh, but if you have a freezer, you all know what I am saying. Most of this food being stockpiled will be wasted. It won't get used. It won't even be given to the food bank as these kinds of people are too selfish. But these people who bought all this food and the new freezer on their credit cards will have a shed load of debt that will have to be paid for one day. |

Wow!
Delivery slots with supermarkets around here are as rare as hens teeth. Do you think the supermarkets maybe prioritising deliveries to the larger branches? |

Just been to do a relatively small weekly shop and got a couple of extra loaves simply because they were 18p EACH and most obviously going to go to waste along with the cage of other bread!!

Visited our local Tesco today to get some food and drink. No real stock issues (apart from loo rolls).

Our local Howdens joiners have handed in a couple of boxes of face masks to our Ambulance station. They are better than what we currently have. Joiners shop is shut down presently so as they were not using their kit they donated it. Many thanks to them. There should be a list of donations and who sent them in so they can be thanked after this is all over - thanked by the public using the services of said companies.

Things will be limited now, and out at the main warehouses. ( i used to work for asda, what a horrfic company that is to work for) With whats going on it will take days even weeks to get things back up to scratch, Thats even if asda as a suffent work force to fill the shelves. They havent bothered their arses to replace people and even laid people off since i left. They may have it out the back, but unable to get it on the shopfloor. But we can thank the panic buyers for that one, caused more uproar, stress and waste, than needed be. I would look at splitting the shopping with other supermarkets, if possible.
