Local huge Sainsbury's down to about 66% full of stocks I would say. Many aisles were empty or near empty. Most worryingly almost out of cat food and totally out of the type mine eat. And as most cat owners know, it's never the case that 'just any' cat food will do. We are not out of it, but worrying. Also of concern, but slightly less so, no cat litter. I don't think there was the same situation with dog food. I suppose dogs are less fussy? They won't starve...
Overheard staff member saying that as soon as they put stock out it disappeared. However a) the aisles were clogged up with trolleys of stuff not being put out and b) they are not very efficient at putting stock out at the best of times. This does suggest that they *have* stuff to put out though.
Glad people weren't helping themselves to the trolleys, but that's only a matter of time if this continues.
Woman in front of me was saying there were no eggs. I said there were, and her reply was thay they were too expensive. She normally pays 99p. Not sure I approve of 99p eggs, but the point is that a lot of people can't afford more expensive brands, and those are all, if anything, that's left of some types of food.
