The rest of that off-topic discussion was moved to the COVID-19 thread. Ironic, perhaps, but here we're not talking about COVID-19 so much as the effects of it.

I paid attention in Aldi yesterday to where there were shortages, but that could just be this particular Aldi on this particular day. They were a bit low on toilet paper, there were frozen things that weren't in view (just the empty slot where the boxes go). It might not be that they're short of the items, but are staff-wise short a stocker.
