  • Thought 'fuck it, as supermarkets appear to be out, I'll order a big bag of flour and some other things I've been meaning to get from Bakery Bits', and they've got a notice on their front page that due to overwhelming demand they're not taking orders at the moment. I guess flour doesn't keep well enough that you want to have a warehouse-full, but this is bananas...

  • I mean, I imagine demand has suddenly gone through the roof. Better they're honest than leave loads of people disappointed that their order wasn't fulfilled.
    Bakery Bits isn't amazon, and I imagine their inventory isn't anywhere near sophisticated enough to handle such a huge increase in load. I could also see it being hard to confirm with suppliers when restocks will be available.

  • Oh, sure; in true hipster fashion I'm just annoyed that the niche little supplier I've used on and off for a decade or so is now far too popular...

  • Shipton Mill are also out of everything, I can't imagine they have the capacity or grain supplies to suddenly increase their output.
