"Most" - an exaggeration I assume?

Same in Aldi yesterday.  Lots of gaps on shelves in the afternoon, but there are a number of reasons,

Weekend, bank holiday, swapping stock from Christmas goods and most people are back to work today so lots of stocking up yesterday.

Sorry but do you shop in my local Morrisons?

I just think the claim that "51 shelves in every 100 was empty" (which is essentially the claim being made) is overegging the pudding a bit. Fresh aisles maybe. Did she look at the entire shop?

I meant "comparatively" not totally empty

noticeably too - even compared to the last brexit caused year of empty shelves

There are (according to the news) 1million adults self isolating.  There is a shortage of teachers in schools, refuse collections are delayed as council have no staff to collect,  medics are brought back early from annual leave, and so it goes on.....

Maybe you missed the pandemic?

What "brexit caused" year of empty shelves?
I know there was a load of reporting in press, but I never saw anything like the photos in our Morrisons, Tesco, M&S, Lidl, Aldi or Iceland.
