(UK) Shelves are already very empty. Oddly this time the fresh stuff is still there and the non-perishable has gone. "Luxuries" are widely available, necessities aren't.

There's a lot of seasonal stuff in cold storage - the apples you buy are from last year.

Why is it odd? Idiots can fill their lofts and garages with loo roll but there's only so much fresh produce that people can stockpile. Although I have no doubt that the same idiots are trying and most of it will go to waste.

The smaller stores are fine. It's only really the supermarkets where there are stock issues.
