Report
I called to ask if they had haggis, to which they told me they did. When I arrived 45 minutes later (travel time to get there), it was all gone. Granted, it is Robbie Burn's day, but they should have been able to warn me that they only had 45 minutes worth of supply left. They then told me there would be more later, but that's not much help if I need to travel across town a second time (given the current lockdown and very cold weather, one can't just hang around in the neighbourhood).

Don't have do be so rude in call. I haven't tried their meats yet, but their way of talking to customers repelled me.
