This morning at the Pak'nSave supermarket in the Auckland suburb of Royal Oak, queues could be seen reaching out into the car park. New Zealand Herald reader Shaun Murray shared a photo of shoppers who had trolleys stacked high with toilet paper and bottled water at Pak'nSave Pukekohe this morning. "Anxiety is through the roof just trying to get basic week to week essentials so our kids have food. Our supermarket yesterday was completely out of bread and cheese [as well as bloody everything else] so our toddlers aren't very pleased today. I ask everyone that they think about that for them and their family," Ardern told reporters.
