Just on CNN HD Business USA has some of the same Supply problems we have. [Tesco has seen sales and profits grow faster than expected as Britain's biggest supermarket group shrugged off the pandemic impact. In the six months to August, Tesco said it "outperformed" the grocery sector, but also flagged that the sales surge could now start to "fall away". But it would still mean stronger profits growth this year than was first thought , a Tesco statement said. It came as rival Morrisons said it was recruiting 3,000 staff for Christmas. The jobs are in distribution centres and manufacturing sites across the UK, ranging from warehouse and production staff to pickers and packers, as well as other skilled roles such as fork-lift truck drivers. Like Morrisons, Tesco is adjusting to labour shortages and supply chain problems in the run-up to the key festive period. However, chief executive Ken Murphy said the company was "in good shape for Christmas", adding he believed the company's resilience was due to its "long-standing partnerships with suppliers". "With various different challenges currently affecting the industry, the resilience of our supply chain and the depth of our supplier partnerships has once again been shown to be a key asset," he said. But he told a conference call with journalists that there would still "be bumps in the road in the run-up to Christmas. We're seeing our share of challenges"] https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58813624 Last edited by arista; 06-10-2021 at 02:04 PM. |

I've been to Sainsbury's tonight and some of the shelves were empty.
But I still got what I wanted. We won't starve
