Australian supermarkets, including ALDI, Coles, IGA and Woolworths, have shared a message with its customers:
To all our customers,
Through these challenging times, the aim of every Australian supermarket is to provide you and your family with the food and essentials you need.
That’s why collectively, we want to reassure you that your wellbeing, and that of our teams, will always be our priority.
Our suppliers and teams are doing everything possible to get as many products onto all our shelves as they can, often under very difficult circumstances.
So, we ask you to please be considerate in the way you shop.
We understand your concerns, but if you buy only what you need and stick to the product limits, it helps everyone, especially the elderly and people with disability.
There are thousands of your fellow Australians who are working tirelessly across our stores every day.
To them, we say thank you. 
We ask that you treat these dedicated people with the courtesy and respect they deserve. No-one working or shopping in any of our stores should experience abusive or aggressive behaviour.
Thank you for your patience and support as we rise to the challenge of these extraordinary times together.
