I have noticed as of late 2020 early 2021 that several Lidl and Aldi stores in my area have rearranged their center isles by adding more walk space, not rotating household products, and (in general) reducing amount of physical goods sold in the store. They did this to promote online webshops as alternatives.
But I think that's due to logistics side of it since its quite inefficient to transport unsold goods back and forth between supermarket stores and distribution centers.
Other supermarket store franchises such as Jumbo and Albert Heijn still offer the same products, produce and goods as before of the entire virus "outbreak" shenanigans.
For context, Europe is a vast continent with large discrepancy in wealth and the blockades giving logistics companies hard time to transport goods to all corners of this continent in a sensible fashion.
And no I'm not waving this issue away. It's another stomach blow to us regular citizens who have to endure even more shite. Guess what our EU bureaucrats decided to do, whom occupy their comfy cushiony heated seats in their shiny ivory tower. They voted to combat the ever clear and present danger of.... CO2 emissions by banning selling of new internal combustion engines in 2035. Great job.. assholes.
I've yet to see empty shelves anywhere.
