Sainsburys is also saying they are going to give over 70's priority for on-line orders but I don't know how it will work. Last time I looked they had no delivery slots for the next 3 weeks.My parents, who online shop with Sainsbury's have rec'd a couple of emails about this from the head honcho.
Basically, they seem to be taking several measures to deal with this
- stores are going to restrict the first hour of opening to customers at risk (the elderly were specifically mentioned, but no idea about other groups)
- they are expanding their click and collect service
- they are 'working hard' to increase their supply lines
- they are restricting orders to 3 or 2 items for certain high demand lines
- they are 'working hard' to increase their home delivery capacity
Obviously this all takes time.
I should imagine that all the other supermarkets are either doing the same or will start looking at them rapidly
Our local large tescos is starting to close overnight, allowing more shelf filling time.
