Empty shelves - how bad is it around you?

[Orangejuicemarathoner]

I'm currently visiting London, from the South coast.

Sainsbury's was a shocker

Whole fridges empty, with their shutters down.

Most other shelves a third full at best

Last time I went to the shops was about a week ago, on the south coast, and it wasn't that bad then, although I can't say about now. Some groceries missing, nothing like this

M&S foodhall here in South Wales is fully stocked as usual.

I live in north east Scotland and had a Sainsburys shop delivered today. All present with no substitutions.

I went into a big-ish Co-Op today and there was not one loaf of bread of any kind. Whole section totally empty.

All the supermarkets local to me (Cornwall) have had empty shelves for weeks.

You can go in one day and it's not too bad and a few days later and there isn't much there. Dven moving bulking items around to fill shelves keavss it pretty empty.

I'm in South London and there are noticeable gaps in the supermarket but not entire shuttered fridges. I haven't had trouble getting everything I need.

Very bad in our coop! Whole fridges of fresh stuff completely empty-literally no cheese, meat, yogurts, ready meals etc.
The dessert fridge had one lonely pack of chocolate eclairs in the whole thing!

Not really noticed anymore empty shelves than usual. Staff seems to be restocking as often and as much as usual.

I usually get food delivered and haven't had too many problems, some subs but acceptable. My local co-op supermarket has had no veg at all for a few days though.

It depends on the shop here. Tesco deliver most of my shopping, there are a few items unavailable each week but they are easily substituted for something similar. I popped into M&S last week and the bakery section was half empty, and I couldn’t get any variety of Diet Coke in the co op either.

Only some categories seem to be affected in our Sainsbury's in Fulham. The pasta ready meals are very empty right now. Last week the tissues were.

Totally fine. Our big supermarket order (big family!) Arrived with nothing missing and similarly when I went to the supermarket near work to pick something up I couldn't see any empty shelves

Frozen raspberries seem to have disappeared. Been trying to get hold of some for weeks.

I couldn't get a Sainsbury's ready meal I like the other day but apart from that normal levels of stock.

pretty bad in north london. different shops. last few months.

East Midlands and many noticeable gaps over the summer. Has improved a little but still some gaps and plenty filled with empty boxes or pallets of something that there is an over supply of. Bread, soft drinks, milk and some tinned/dried good missing for a while. Local fields are full of veg and flowers that have gone to seed or been ploughed in as staff shortages have so unable to harvest them.

I do click and collect and since about july substitutions were horrendous but last week there was only 2! So not so bad near me in tyne and wear.

I'm near Glasgow and mainly shop online and honestly haven't had any problems getting what I've ordered

Our Waitrose is fairly empty but because they are doing a lot of building work to make our lovely new Waitrose and JL it's a bit hard to tell if it's that or shortages. I usually get most of my Tesco delivery, same as always

I went in Lidl this week, don’t go that often, and was very surprised by how bare it was. A lot of shelves had only a few things on them. My local Tesco is ok, few bare patches, but most things are in.

There are no crisps, it's been an issue for weeks. I can live without crisps, DS is a bit pissed off though! No other shortages (SW major city).

There's been no pita bread round here for weeks, now orange juice and oven chips gone. M&S seems to have its shit together more than the others

I haven’t noticed anything anywhere North West - except no Gouda in Morissons.

It's pretty bad here in NI.

I'm in South East London and there isn't really a big problem with stock in the main, with the exception of bottled water and lunchbox drinks like Fruit Shoots etc (this is Lidl and Sainsbury's in the main, also Co-Op occasionally). Definitely no problem with bread or milk, fruit and veg.
