> the number of varieties of vegetables stocked by my local Tesco, for example, has plummeted, and the stock sells out almost immediately after delivery.

Are you in a really shitty area or something? I only saw what you described in the first week of lockdown one. Nothing has noticeably changed in my local Morrisons for the last few months.

I'm in an urban area that perhaps is a bit poorer than some others nearby, yes. The bigger out-of-town supermarkets have better stock but my usual urban Tesco (and to a lesser extent the two Sainsbury's Locals nearby) just don't have that much stock. It changed a lot in Lockdown 1 and hasn't really recovered.

I certainly noticed a few months ago that the supermarket in my local small town seemed to be better stocked than the larger supermarket in the nearby medium sized city.
