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

    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 

    Time before they had no stock of over 10 items I had ordered 

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

    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.  :(
