So actually how is it in UK supermarkets?
Here in France I don't think they do a 'just in time' s.market delivery schedule so they order a set amount to a franchise and then sell that. My local HyperCasino is understaffed, has empty bits and a lot of the fruit and veg is either rotting (because its been sat around too long) and / or is really variable (i.e. one week I can buy mushrooms, the next I can't). Its like this all the time
In my old town (Taunton) it was
rammed with out of town ASDA, Tesco (with 3 Express too), Sainsburys (one in town, one out), Morrisons, ALDI, LIDL, plus independents, and I can't really understand when someone says 'I have less choice / ohhELLIMRUNNIOUTMABELFETCHTHESHOTGUN' type stuff.
