Tesco apologises after customers are left without milk at one of the largest Bristol supermarkets

Shoppers at one of the largest Tesco stores in Bristol were shocked to find the milk fridges completely empty today.

The refrigerated shelves of the Tesco Extra store at Brislington were bare, with no fresh dairy milk available.

Customer Brian from Stockwood told Bristol World: “I turned up at Tesco just before midday on Monday and there was nothing left in the milk fridge.

“I usually use the store on a Monday for my weekly shop so it was very disappointing to find the milk gone. I had to drive to Lidl on the way back to get some, which was something I hadn’t bargained for.”

Fellow customer Janet from Broomhill said: “I know we’ve had shortages of some things in recent months but I can’t believe there’s no milk. I’ve had to buy a carton of UHT milk but it’s not quite the same.”

When Bristol World spoke to a member of staff at the Tesco Extra store, they said they thought the problem was due to a delivery issue.

A spokesperson for Tesco said: “We apologise to our customers for low stocks of milk at our Brislington Extra store.

“The store is receiving regular deliveries and we expect to be back to normal levels of milk availability soon.”
