Co op shelves empty!!

Options
Has anybody else noticed this in their local Co Op - ours hasn't had a delivery since Friday and they don't know when the next one is coming in! The fridges are bare as is the fruit/veg section.
Is it just my little corner of Essex?

    Empty shelves in Shropshire also! It was better when it was a branch of Harry Tuffins.

    The Co-op in the village where my Mum lives was stocked OK.
    But then again, I don't think the Co-op is the same as Mr T, Sainsbobs etc - aren't they run separately by region?
    I know my Mum's one and the in the local town (6 miles apart) aren't under the same 'umbrella'.
    Divi cards are different and the offers are different.

    Our local Tesco (not Essex) looks like everyone raided it due to snow/zombie attacks/alien invasions etc.


    There's no YS bargains & they don't refill much overnight either.


    Weird & even my neighbour commented on it too.


    They do have plenty of Easter Eggs though but no yoghurt type stuff/spuds/sweet peppers/bananas/bakery items & other things
    Lurking in a galaxy far far away...
  • It's been a few days now without any satisfactory explanation apart from 'awaiting delivery'.
    Hove branch beginning to resemble a 1980's Eastern Bloc store.
