when supply chains mess up, its going to be random whats in stock and where. there just gonna do what they can.
It also wouldnt surprise me if things get worse, because we might be opperating at say 95% capacity, when normal christmas time they are ramping up instead :/
In my workplace, were already seeing shortages of food items, so in general we have a top self, where addition items of stock are kept, ready to go out. But some isles, the top shelves are empty right now, and this is only the beginning
As Nov draws to an end, the supermarkets, are going to get busier and busier, and I wouldn't be surprised, if panic buying start on some goods. There also could be another reason to stock pile goods, and panic buy multiple items, ie price increase
If costs go up due to the price of Gas going up, and companies getting bigger bills, they only way for them to come out even, is to pass it onto us. So a 30 pack of Ariel pods costs around £6, but if price increase come into play, you might be looking at £8 - £9 for this item
Thing with the price increases, we wont know when it will happen, it could happen overnight, and you go shopping the next day, and shocked at the prices, and everyone else is the same. Everyone starts to look at places like aldi, lidl, just to see how prices compare, and if cheaper, guess maybe buy in bulk
