I have shopped at ASDA (sheffield) for my main shop for several years but the number of items constantly unavailable or out of stock means I often go to LIDL to get missing items. This week, milk, eggs and all the meat I ordered was unavailable do I took myself off for a second shop.
A maintainance guy was removing every other fluorescent tube in the rows of striplights ! Not replacing but removing. The cashier who I have known for years confirmed this, she also said that they had turned the heating down to the point that staff were wearing fleeces over their uniforms. She was wearing a plain black zip up fleece (no pattern or logo) and her supervisor wasn't happy as it was not official uniform.
So two huge companies seemingly in trouble.
Asda out of stock , no longer sending slightly pricier substitutes OR (as i feel pushing more expensive brands)
LIDL. Halving lighting costs and reducing heating .
Anyone else seeing this in their own regular supermarkets ?
Anyone noticing other odd events ?
