Honestly I miss U.K. supermarkets now I live in the US. (I moved before Brexit so things are probably much worse there now.)
Tesco somehow always managed to have what I needed but my local Safeway in SF frequently has empty shelves (predating the pandemic.) And unless you go to Trader Joe’s (which is missing a bunch of other stuff) there’re no nice freshly preprepared meals available.
- bpye 4y agoI moved from the UK to Canada and still miss UK supermarkets to a degree. That said, I went back for ~1 month last summer and often ended up needing to go to multiple supermarkets to find basic things such as chicken breasts... If Brexit isn't the cause I'd be very surprised.

Plus some real stupidity relating to tax and licensing of lorry drivers. :-( Yes, brexit has had an effect, but I think covid is more significant.
