Not stock piling when u finish them before you reach the checkout?

Seen too many Walking Deads to know the worst thing you can do is think about others - they'll try and eat you in the end.

Think the fascination with apocalyptic tv grows the more disgruntled you are with society.

Imagine, the stuff you could horde and claim for yourself, with not another soul in sight? Apart from the occasional zombie, but I've got that covered with a suit of armour and tank ill collect from the Royal Armouries. Plan to visit in my Lambo or Ferrari if the world ends.

Got this message to one of my WhatsApp groups last night, this guy is a Scot and lives up in Scotlandshire.

Is he just making it up too?

 

[paul7388]

Well seems to be coop again. That would lead me to believe they need to sort themselves out.

Every other supermarket, local shop etc. All have plenty stock.

Message him back and tell him to go to asda or Morrisons if he is hungry.

 

[paul7388]

But thanks for the post. It means I can now contact asda try get my money refunded.

Did an online delivery for the weekend for a few hundred pound.

Every item I wanted was in stock. But as all the shelves are empty they have lied and ripped me off.

Better chase them up now and ask why did you accept an order when you have nothing in stock.

Wonder if Max can do a PAB against them for lying and screwing me out of my dinner.

Off up to Sainsbury's. -they tell you what's not available. Only one this time.

The mango slices, 200g are unavailable, so giving me 450g

So looks like they've got too much mango to get rid of.

 

[pinnit2014]

You'd think with all these food shortages I'd stop being a fat bastard but there's an extra 2 lbs on this morning.

Sainsbury's you snob. Poor me has to use asda or tesco. But tesco got bombed out after delivering my order nearly 24 hours late months ago. And again that was due to incompetence on their behalf not brexit. So has to be asda now. Well until i just got informed they have ripped me off lol.

Waitrose now check your credit file before letting you in and Bonanza put paid to that.

Morrisons are the worse - their home delivery they just bring u massive crates, land at your door and they stand there as you fetch the bags etc: feel rushed to dangerously put the bleach in the same bag as the cauliflower.

Some of them are ranked low down on the supply chains anyhow - why i think you get fresher stuff from some and not the others - they get the dregs at the best of times.

No different to one Health Board being better than another - you can't just jump to the conclusion 'Need more money!' - (a la Labour) but could be because one is better run than the other.

Never did online shopping till this year. But with all this covid shit I couldn't be arsed going to supermarkets anymore. Okay correct that she couldn't be arsed anymore. Used to.let her go for it all. I would help by putting some of it away. Besides got fed up with her not getting trifles, biscuits etc.

Yeah tesco and asdadoes that as well. Brings cases to door and expect you to empty them Into bags there. I just lift them into kitchen and empty it all out anyway and then give cases back to driver lol.

We never used to until this but now, i hated it at the best of times, cannot be bothered, unless it's to pick up 1/2 things, going into a store - used to hate getting stuck behind some slow poke in the aisles, moving to get by and then they dart out etc - blood pressure couldn't take the rage.

Some are better than others - asda/morrisons will lump you with stuff with todays date, Sainsbury's are alright though so now it's better to pull into the click and collect, open the boot and good to go in 3 mins.

i went to lift it but went 'fuck me, that's heavy' and put it down

 

[pinnit2014]

Might do the Morrisons one and tell the delivery guy 'gimme 5' and just plant my arse on the step and start eating directly out the crate.

The world isn't an entirely binary place. Something that is true in one area, can be partly true or untrue in another.

The fact that your Asda had everything in stock doesn't change the fact that my mate went shopping last night and found a lot of empty shelves.

This is another message from the same group. He's not making this stuff up just for a laugh.

Stock shortages in some supermarkets, in some places, are a real thing. Just because your local supermarkets are fully stocked doesn't mean they are everywhere.

 

[pinnit2014]

'rather sparse'

Oh my!

And i've been to 3, across several areas and they've been laden with food - so, feel free to quote me like you did your mate; just to add balance

 

[paul7388]

But again Chopley and I am not trying to be argumentative.

But this is Scotland. For last couple of weeks it has been bloody hot. Supermarkets have so much stock to last normally.

Then when you get non stop nice weather that never happens everyone rushes out for stuff.

Alcohol, water, fruit, burgers etc. Are things that are flying off the shelves.

Everyone is out drinking and eating barbecues and fruit etc. For smoothies and eating as they don't want big hot meals.

Sounds daft but when u get what is a heatwave for us then people rush out and buy the products you mention that they never normally buy.

Some shops would run out of those things whether Brexit and covid existed or not.

 

[News Hound]

I couldn't find an ice cube to buy for love or money the week just gone. Now every supermarket has tonnes of them. Unfortunately no need for them now

 

[Slottery]

Malta is still in EU (if not soon kicked out after getting greylisted by FATF) and my favorite vodka been out of stock already two fcking weeks from my corner store, they keep promising they trying and trying to get it but still not.

Now have to use some replacements which are almost €2 more expensive (first favorite of course is free but that's not often available but now second best, cheap haven't been there for while), dunno who could i blame that my "groceries" have come around 20% more expensive last two weeks

 

[mcgameboy]

The "pingdemic" is also causing empty shelves, due to staff shortages at some of the big supermarkets.

There are (in some cases) not enough staff at some of the Tesco Superstore/Tesco Extra branches (day or night) to do stock replenishment.

Then factor in the heatwave we had in Norn Iron last week. End result: Empty ice cream/ice lolly cabinets. Empty soft drinks/minerals shelves etc etc.

But no....it MUST be to do with Brexit. Can't possibly be ANY OTHER REASON, can it?

I do have a serious question for you though Choppers.....

Given that your incessant harping on about Brexit has gone way beyond comical levels and is fast approaching the highest levels of tedium
known to mankind (think having to play Starburst without autoplay 23 hours 59 minutes a day),
is it reasonable to assume that Mrs Chopley has banned Brexit talk in your house and is threatening to divorce you if you defy it?

No, he's married to Anna Soubry. (NOT a Nazi)

He doesn't know as she's been out of the house for 2 weeks looking for bread

Also, when Supermarket Sweep gets cancelled we'll know things are REALLY bad.

Ha! Mrs Chopley is even more of a Remainy Left-Winger than I am, to give you an idea, she's a fully paid-up card carrying member of the Labour Party - (she joined in the Corbyn era because she really liked Corbyn) - and she can't even vote in UK elections.

Ah! She's the one...

 

[cncas2123]

Absolutely terrifying that the shops have empty shelves, all because of nasty old Brexit.... I mean never in the history of shopping has there ever been such a thing as a shelf missing three loaves of bread, an empty space where the spuds should have been....

Same old chopley, whatever happens its all down to Brexit, unless its actually something good - thats just a fluke and it would have been so much better without Brexit.

If there was a poll for most tedious thread at CM, i know which one would get my vote!
