An employee at Sainsburys told us that it's because now all the fridges and freezers are linked to the whole store aircon system. I don't know how true that is, but when I worked for Iceland, 30 plus years ago, all the fridges and freezers were independent units, and a breakdown was rare, whereas nowadays there always seem to be units in most supermarkets that are over iced, or not working.

@suearcher@toot.wales @wolfie@deadinsi.de it does seem quite sensible to link them all up to me, it always feels a bit inefficient if fridges dump heat out into the surrounding air and the air conditioning then has to get it out of the surrounding air and dump it all the way outdoors. But I can see that that means if one piece of equipment fails they all do
