They drop the bags as close to where you want to stack them.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Nipped down to B&Q for some slabs and took a wander through Lidl & Tesco.
No sunflower oil OR rapeseed oil in Lidl. Tesco had a small number of 1L bottles of both but no larger containers.

I wonder what the warehouse back room stock situation is. We never really do get to know. Would probably make panic buying worse if we ever got a glimpse.

There is almost no backroom stock in supermarket stores now (Just In Time delivery). There will be / have been some in the distribution centres, but if COVID taught us anything it's that there is hardly any "buffer stock". Providing they can resupply that's no problem - but supermarkets abroad are already limiting purchases if oil, flour etc.

3l bottles are now missing from most of the supermarket online offerings. I suspect that only offering 1l bottles is an informal way of rationing. Next the price will rise for the 1l version to discourage purchase....

Absolutely - I used to work for an electrical big box store when I was retraining for my self employment, and one of the issues was to reconcile what the paperwork said about stock with the *actual* stock behind the scenes. Pre covid, I've asked about a popular item in a supermarket (okay ... pesto ) and the reply has been "there's supposed to be some on the lorry this afternoon".British Red wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 6:23 pm There is almost no backroom stock in supermarket stores now (Just In Time delivery).

As to the distribution centres ... if you're going clockwise to the south around the M25 at the Dartford Bridge - Amazon and Sainsbo both have distribution centres there. They're enormous.
