What you can blame is the media hype rubbish which caused it in the 1st instance.

But when you order basic essentials like pasta and rice over three weeks in advance it's a bit of a crap system if they don't put any aside for you and you end up having to do the shop you were advised not to do three weeks ago anyway.


I'd agree with the hype not helping. Social media too, full of people's photos of empty shelves. When I actually went shopping I could have taken photos of empty areas, but could also have taken photos of the majority of the shop's well stocked areas too if I wanted to paint a positive picture. I'm guessing the media (social and commercial) chose to err on the side of the sensationalist point of view and hyped the hysteria. I had less choice, but plenty to buy really and it just highlighted to me the crazy amount of choice we have normally.
