Australian supermarkets, including ALDI, Coles, IGA and Woolworths, have sent a message to their customers:
To all of our customers,
In these challenging times, the goal of every Australian supermarket is to provide you and your family with the food and essentials you need.
Therefore, we would like to assure you together that your well-being and that of our teams will always be our priority.
Our suppliers and teams do everything to bring as many products as possible onto all shelves, often under very difficult circumstances.
We therefore ask you to be considerate when shopping.
We understand your concerns, but if you buy only what you need and stick to the product line, it will help everyone, especially the elderly and people with disabilities.
There are thousands of your Australian compatriots who work tirelessly in our stores every day.
We thank you.
We ask that you treat these committed people with the courtesy and respect they deserve. Nobody who works or buys in one of our stores should behave abusive or aggressive.
Thank you for your patience and support as we rise to the challenge of these extraordinary times together.
