I do check before buying, though.

They have reduced their produce lines and several of the isles are cordoned off. Most weeks several of our standard weekly purchases are not in stock. Mr C likes to shop in Tesco but when I do the shopping I go to Morrisons where they stock all our standard items and it is just a few of the more fancy items we have occasionally that I cannot get there. Due to its location it is also easier to get into and as it is a smaller store, much easier to get round which saves time. We don't usually buy meat in supermarkets we get it from a local butcher or one of the local farm shops. However the meat from Morrison's is almost as good and their fish counter is excellent.

But I think the company have recently lost their way. They do here and there is no excuse for not getting the staff to check the stock. But I think the company have recently lost their way.
