Tesco and Covid-19

This is gonna be a lot of he said she said but i'm gonna put this out there anyway.

According to my parents they just got a call from my dad's friend Henry, and his son works in a Tesco warehouse, and Henry told my parents that his son just saw on his boss' computer that they won't be receiving any imported food anymore. I know Henry's son is a fairly quite and reserved guy, so i doubt he'd lie about something like that.

I know it's autistic and not very believable, but if this ends up true then you must hail me as a prophet

My uncle's friend Ben said he knows someone whos sister saw on her dad's computer that a guy down the street saw a helicopter fly over his house.

During the last war people like you would have been locked up for spreading bullshit rumours

I heard OP sucks dick

I think I'll panic buy some potatoes and lettuce today

There weren't any spuds left yesterday.
There are 2 months left of supplies stored, then we are done.
If I was to offer advice it would be buy some seeds and start planting your own food.

tfw convict island produces food for 50+ million people

There was plenty of potatoes left when i went to morrisons.

Cool. My dad works for Nintendo.

Yeah, we'll my friends dad worked at Nintendo and he just told me there will be a new pokemon game set in germony where team muhammeds are using grass types to stun spore kindergardeners and stealing them and their pokemons

There won't be a food shortage but the selection will be beans, one type of sausage, and government cheddar. Everything else isn't being made anymore.

Doubt.

Food is the last thing they would allow to run dry as it would result in societal collapse. Thats means no economy, no rule of law, no nothing. The powers that be wouldn't let that happen.

Tesco all sold sainsburys all sold.

Three meals away from anarchy.

i work at tesco
they're planning on withholding food from people with low social scores, which are to be implemented soon so the army knows who to watch out for

luckily I love a plate of turnips & dandelion

Very interesting. A good friend of mine is a senior nursing sister at Leeds Hospital - the boy shown on the floor by the media was in fact put there by his mother who then took photos on her mobile phone and uploaded it to media outlets before he climbed back onto his trolley.

>low social scores,
>Ireland
So they're gonna withold from the whole nation? Thats pretty riskay

bullshit

Get on Twitter and make them deny it
>Reliable sources close to me say...... could you please confirm whether this is true so the British public can take appropriate action

Asda,Morrisons and Tesco all have bare shelves here NPCS are queuing outside from 6am

My neighbor works at Tesco and he said this

Shops near me are empty. Online shopping has collapsed, no delivery slots no stock.. Can't even cick & collect in my area anymore.

sounds like another taytofamineocaust

Can confirm, my cousin's friend Tito's brother Ignacio has a third cousin (once removed) who works for a company that cleans the warehouse floors of CostCo in boise, Idaho, and he said that he overheard two floor people in the break room talking about how one of their cousins (Jeff, I think) is a trucker for UPS and they heard that shipments to CostCo may be slowing down in May 2020, as he heard that from his boss's ex-wife's husband's son's friend Chris.

So it's definitely true.

Can't you get take away?

This.

Add into the mix the fact that all non-perishable foods, be they tins, dried or frozen, were harvested last year at the end of the last growing season. Retailers and manufacturers have stockpiled enough food to make sure they can continue selling non-perishables until the next harvest

Socialism at last

seems legit

who is this dude? is he an actor from the uk office?

Some are starting to close as people are avoiding them for some reason and they can't get some stock like lettiuce which comes from Spain.

I Think it might be best to wait until the hour before they close, they might start restocking early to beat the locusts when they open the doors. I walked out with biscuits and bread the other day, there wasn't much else left buy 3pm.

If it does go to shit I live in the middle of nowhere and am surrounded by farms so will fare better than most.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me mate. I work in a express and yesterday we got 4 cages of delivery instead of our usual 10. I know they're focusing mainly on larger format stores but our backstock is basically empty at this point and deliveries are the only thing keeping stock on the shelves. I give our store a week before we are out of everything

Close, he's a meme uk politician.

I can't speak for larger format stores but don't bother going to expresses late at night. We get our delivery in the morning and all the essential crap like bread, milk and the like are gone by 1/2 pm

Will they be importing toilet paper though?

> Bongs

> Not having taters

You remember where Ireland is, right? Send the HMS Queen Elizabeth down the Channel and hang a right.

WTF Salisbury steak from Tesco just flew over my house

Let's say it's true.
What are the implications?
As an American, we have all the food we need, and more.
Would there be food shortages in bongland if imports were ended?

Hey, I think I know that guy!

There would be food, but we would have to eat what we have rather than what we want. A lot of our fresh stuff comes from the EU. They have their own food pressures right now, add on their lockdowns and a ot of it will no longer get to the UK.

Everyone's going on a crash diet.

Can't wait for my shift in Asda later. Its going to be a real joy listening to boomers moan for a solid 7 hours.

Maybe he could use that skill to get supplies in the upcoming food shortage crisis.

When to the store and there were no Jaffa cakes. Send me some goddamn Jaffa cakes OP

>the selection will be beans, one type of sausage, and government cheddar.

sounds like life in the 70's. great!

About to head back to the shit running a late tonight at my express. Let's see how many times I get shouted at today!

So nothing's changed

Have a good 'un user

Cheers man you too

UK is a massively net importer of food at a time when the whole world is shutting its borders
your cities are going to starve and riot

my friends Uncle Ben said he had enough rice to see us until winter, and it would only take 60 seconds or 1 minute to cook if we were lucky.

spuds in the shop and spud supply are 2 different things. there are warehouses full of spuds that are planned to be sold until the new season, but they are not packed until just before they go out the door. there is a question about who is going to pack and process all the stored veg, but there are spuds, carrots, cabbage and onions to last months. it could be soup until summer.

>Online shopping has collapsed, no delivery slots no stock
this is a logistic thing more than a shortage thing. it is ironically to stop people clearing out the stock with online orders and then having nothing instore. at least if everyone has to go to the supermarket, the appearance of normalcy can be somewhat maintained. ocado took a pretty big hit by closing down.

We import around 40% of our food, yeah we like oranges, pineapples, rice and shit like that. So fucking what? We have enough farmland to feed us all, we will just have to get used to eating what we can produce here, big fucking deal, we're a green, temperate, wet country, I think we'll survive.

>We have enough farmland to feed us all
had

>uploaded to media outlets
where is the button on CNN where you can upload photos that that are immediately converted into published articles?

Yeah well my uncle works at Nintendo.
Pics or it didn't happen, faggot

Yeah OK point taken but we can also ration, fuck I'll breed and neck rabbits no problem. Either that or the phrase "I like Indian" is going to take on a slightly different meaning.

>We have enough farmland to feed us all

no we fucking don't, nowhere near.

My asda has been restocking shelves throughout the day. Some shops are stocking overnight and then not restocking the shelves until the next night so obviously the shelves are going to be bare. The only things really missing from my local asda were the usual rice, pasta and some tinned stuff. They're doing quite a good job restocking the shelves throughout the day with all the rest of the stuff.

I dont know why they dont just get rid of some of the product lines and just start only getting deliveries of staples like pasta, rice, oats etc just flood the shelves with stuff people are trying to buy and get rid of the stuff that is being left on the shelves like packets and sauces and shit. Their problem is they're trying to maintain a full inventory when people are only trying to buy certain product lines.

It's spring time and you're stuck in the home anyhow, time to put out a garden bongbros.

We have the stock they are just only stocking the shelves once per day because they get mobbed if they try to restock when the store is open. If they restocked and had deliveries multiple times per day then it wouldnt be a problem but for some reason this isnt happening whether is a logistics problem or a restocking shelf problem i dont know. they dont seem to care to be honest, they could be doing more but they arnt.
