They actually employ a neat UX trick to make it appear this way! When a product is sold out, they'll remove the sign for it and rearrange the existing products to fill the space, making it seem like there's nothing missing.

I realized this when I visited once and the entire spice shelf consisted of one spice (onion salt), spread across like 5 shelves.
