A few FairPrice customers posted pictures of empty shelves on social media. FairPrice erected signs in affected stores informing shoppers that there was a "temporary shortage" because of a "delivery issue". A spokesperson told Channel NewsAsia on Tuesday (Oct 28) that an internal delivery glitch caused several stores to receive limited and intermittent stock from its distribution centre since the middle of last week. Normal delivery has resumed for most of its stores as of Monday, the spokesperson said. “We would like to assure customers that there is no shortage in the supply of these products,” FairPrice added. "We apologise for any inconvenience caused." - CNA/ek
