Panic buying at supermarkets has led to high demands for products keeping staff busy.
Due to high demand, the supermarket is closing at 8pm so that staff members can clean our stores and replenish the shelves for the next day.
The Goulburn Coles store currently received up to five deliveries per day from four different distribution centres, including chilled products, fresh produce and dry groceries.
It has put a one pack limit per customer on toilet paper and two items limit per person on products like pasta, flour, dry rice, paper towels, paper tissues, hand sanitisers and mince meat, which includes beef, pork, lamb, chicken and turkey.
