People should get off their backsides and start growing their own vegetables.
Grapes and strawberries too
May I ask the extent of your vegetable plot?Grapes and strawberries too
Tomatoes loads this year - last year they were rubbish.
Sprouts and cauliflower coming on.
Runnerbeans not doing great yet but fingers crossed
French beans slugs got to them.
Courgettes doing well
Broadbeans looking forward.
Sweet corn - rubbish again

Sainsbury's cut back on staff after the disastrous failed merger with Asda to try and recoup some of the millions it had cost them. Unfortunately this has resulted in empty shelves in their stores for months now as they have too few staff to keep them stocked up.
Always plenty of staff milling about or chatting to each other but seemingly doing little work in my local Sainsbury's.Shelf stacking is too menial for those who aren't paid to stack whereas in your Aldis and Lidls even the managers stack shelves

The one I visit has been absolutely fine up until the last couple of weeks.untakenname said:
Sainsbury's seems overstaffed compared to Lidls or COOP, went to my local one this afternoon and most the decent beer had already gone, shelves will be empty by Saturday midday and displaying the same sign as in the top left part of the picture.
This is one way to help all of us functioning alcoholics nothing to buy. Welshbeef said:

People look to have been buying lots of Carling 
The horror, the horror
People all go shopping Friday/Saturday/Sunday even when they don't have to and wonder why shelves are suddenly empty. Same if you visit on a Monday. Or if you look at fruit/bread/milk in the evening when you can recreate those exact 'shocking' pictures the tabloids like printing.
Sainsbury have been crap at stock control for ages, all sorts of stuff drifts in and out of stock in some stores sometimes for weeks at a time. Or (even better) they undermaintain their shopfloor refrigeration units, have a breakdown and have to put loads of stock out back where no one can buy it even though they have it.
Tesco end up with gaps when they have fallings out with multi brand suppliers and get cut off...
Shelves go empty regardless of other events, work around it.
