Meter-long refrigerated shelves completely cleared: Photos from an open Lidl store in Hamburg cause amazement.
The resolution is surprising.
Hamburg - hamster purchases XXXL?
That is probably the first thought of many when they see the footage from a Hamburg Lidl that can be seen on Twitter.
Meter-long refrigerated shelves are completely swept empty.
The short video panning is even more impressive than the photo.
Not a single item can still be discovered, only the price tags are still on.
Lidl in Hamburg: shelves empty - what was going on?
In addition: The post from the Lidl customer is from March 24th - the day before the Corona “Easter rest” had been announced.
On that Wednesday, it was withdrawn by Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The Twitter user writes: “Today's BPK was obviously too late for Lidl customers in Hamburg,” whereby “BPK” probably means the federal press conference.
And a possible connection between stock purchases for Easter and the empty shelves is suggested.
For now.
But the background is completely different - the Twitter user also learns this when asked by the cashier (as he adds a little later).

Lidl in Hamburg: There were NO hamster purchases
Reason for the strange sight: A truck drove into the refrigeration unit of the branch in Hellmesbergerweg in Hamburg.
Lidl also confirmed the incident on
Merkur.de
request.
“The unit was so badly damaged that it is no longer functional.
As a result, the temperatures required in the refrigerated shelves can no longer be guaranteed - not even for individual refrigerated shelves, ”said the Lidl declaration on March 25th.
Only dairy products, chilled sausage products and convenience products were affected by the failure.
But not fresh meat, poultry and fish or frozen items.
Lidl announced in response that everything should be repaired before Easter.
When asked on Wednesday (March 31st) there was the good news: “The damage has been repaired and the refrigerated shelves are all filled again.” Another Lidl customer recently discovered a useful trick.
