Sure was a crazy time

Six months later and we still have some limits. I hope things get back to normal soon.

Its so annoying how this happens everytime!! Like the shops aren’t closed.. you don’t need all that?!?

Sad that it comes to that-we never been buying more than we needed. I feel sorry for big families who needs more than that

Sad sad world when it comes to this.

Totally understandable. Supply and demand are a real problem at the moment.

Ignorance, greediness and sheer lack of compassion for others has lead to this problem. I saw a lady in Coles buy 10 packets of Panadol leaving none on the shelf – wt???
It’s makes it very hard for people on a budget whom can only shop once a fortnight or monthly.
It’s really getting beyond a joke.

If people only buy what they need then there shouldn’t be any shortages.

And there’s still no meat on the shelves.

Yes I just went to my local Coles today and they had Nothing especially the chicken and meat is empty and the fruit and veg section was very limited, They are saying its because of the staff have covid but I am unsure about that

Buy what you need, this won’t last forever. Maybe if you clean out your cupboards and look at those tin items, you may be able to make a new meal. We always have that tin of soup or spaghetti just in case we have extra people for dinner it can be amazing what can be made with very little.

patience, respect for others, flexibility and kindness

Panic buying serves no purpose other than depleting items that could stretch out and cover many customer purchases. After almost 2 years locked down here in Vic, I only ever buy what I need, when I need it and have managed to put a decent meal together every day. The latest COVID-19 variant is more infectious but fortunately the recovery time is much quicker so hopefully things will settle back to some normality soon. Patience and understanding makes a big difference to the all workers doing their best to help us.

There isn’t a shortage of food…..just delays in getting the products onto the shelves. There’s usually something available so we need to be flexible.

It is to be expected with so many people having to isolate at home due to catching COVID. Do hope it gets back to normal soon. PS I didn’t realise Coles even sold the Rapid Antigen Tests.

Unfortunately it is all part of the knock on effect. Whilst we are currently in WA and things appear a bit better here with stock levels on the shelves not too bad, it is only a matter of time until things start to look bare, especially given how much product gets delivered to our stores from the Eastern States. I really feel for people on tight budgets when they are unable to get their regular staples for the pantry that week.

Here we go again

its an inconvenience, but compared to so many countries we are still in a very fortunate position. its not life or death, this will pass .

That’s great woolworths can figure out how to stock there shelves properly
