SUPERMARKETS are barricading “non-essential” sections – to the fury of buyers.
Angry shoppers have taken to Twitter to complain about not being able to access clothes and other parts of Tesco and Sainsbury’s.

Buyers said they did not have access to baby clothes and socks due to the new restrictions.
A Tesco buyer in Streatham, south London, blasted on Twitter: “Disappointed to see after the outcry over the blocking of clothing, toys, housewares etc. sections. in one of your stores in Wales, you have now done so in your Streatham Extra boutique.
Adding: “I can buy alcohol, but not a kettle or underwear. “
