Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

Strange that there are shortages (gaps in shelves) in some parts of the country and not others. Now that is irritating and so I shall have to ask why that is the case when I visit my local Sainsbury’s later.
 
I shop several times a week, some days a lot of the shelves are empty other times not. The supermarkets I use are clearly having problems maintaining normal stock levels.

My daughter was telling me the other day about her companies problems. They use a shared transport company all the companies involved were told that there would be no deliveries to the West Country for 2 weeks.

I think it’s a Sainsbury’s problem, our local one is awful, they always have large gaps on their shelves, I spoke to the manager about it and he gave it the nationwide shortage spiel. I said it’s funny that the big Tesco down the rd has full shelves and so does the Lidl which is just across the rd from Sainsbury’s… They also only ever have 2 manned tills even at busy times and they try to push you into the scan and shop thing. I think it’s just poorly run.
 
We have. Morrisons, a Waitrose, three Co-ops, a Lidl and numerous small one stops. None of them have empty shelves unless you go in just before they close and the late shift hasn't restocked the shelves. Is anyone here having problems getting enough to eat? If so maybe we could organise some red cross parcels between us.

My daughter works part time in Morissons so I asked her, she said they haven't had any stock issues.
 
We haven't been able to buy soya growing up milk for about a week now. The little one will have to get used normal and much more reasonable priced milk soon. Otherwise they didn't haved iet coke but coke zero once. It seems to be a localised/supplier little problem depending on where the pinging is happening.
I panic when they run out of toilet paper again.

They didn't ever run out of it, it's just that a lot was stored in people's houses.
 
Plenty shortages in our local Co op , Morrison’s and Tescos

Co Op seems to be the worst hit with lots of empty areas

Our cousins in Aus are now back in lockdown. They are not happy about it.

I live in South Gloucestershire just north of Bristol and our local Tesco, Waitrose, Aldi and CoOp have had no noticeable supply issues at all. I can only report as I find and not as the media report it.
