Rice, pasta, canned foods, some have excessive reserves. Scenes of crowds, lines of wagons ready to be filled as soon as the opening and jostling. This Tuesday morning, March 17, customers rushed into supermarkets for fear of missing. So, to cope, mass distribution has adapted. In a Lidl brand warehouse, for example, the manager has completely overhauled his supply chain. Priority to essential products: canned vegetables, toilet paper, milk, and above all, tons of pasta. ' Products that are not lacking ' ' Our pasta supplier delivered us a whole truck of merchandise. We have full pallets of pasta (') So there is no shortage of products. We get them every day, we have them in our warehouses, and we ship them every day to our supermarkets, explains Alexandre Bouline, regional director of Lidl. This warehouse’s been running at 150% for the last two weeks. Teams take turns seven days a week, multiplying overtime.
