I actually went shopping on fri for the first time since 23/12 (had deliveries since then) and I noticed how many gaps there were round our (massive) Tesco's

I went to one store and they were picking for online, so explains if no stock on shelves in that place.

Lol there were loaves n potatoes etc. dumped in a local park cos people over-bought then no sense to freeze the bread and store potatoes etc. (Ignoring best before)

I didnt have shortages but very frustrating asda dudnt deliver a full crate of my shopping on saturday over £30 of goods all my fresh stuff 

Their customer service centre were shocking they dont redeliver no good will gesture just refund for missing items   not that I could understand them as very strong accent 

Now got to go put today buy some food

Just had a call from the store actually to apologise and gave me their number if any further problems

What a kerfuffle (suppose to save time n angst online!)

I have a very restricted diet and found lots of my 'regulars' missing over the last year.  I've had to double up when they are available just in case they're not the next time.  Of course, if several of us are doing that, it's not going to help the situation lol!

I've also noticed the quality of several items decline during the pandemic.
