The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[Saddleworth2]

Keeping a close eye on this thread. A big indicator of how things are going will be if folk start to wipe their arses on cats and then eat them (the cats, not the arses)

Why would they perform the first action and then the second? Surely curtains then cat?

Stupid cunts are buying liquid hand wash and leaving bars of soap.

Bars of soap last longer and are the best thing to use to kill viruses.

Never understood the hoarding of antibacterial products in an effort to kill something that is not bacteria.

You can rely on Bluemoon to act as a barometer for wider society.

Ha. I told my Mum yesterday that I will be wiping my arse on the cats back if we run out of bog roll.

Cats first - save the bog roll. There is no shortage or panic buying of cats.

OK this is a bit of a joke.
Had an Asda click and collect tomorrow morning. They've emailed me just now to say not only are 10 of the 45 products out of stock (including beans, cereals, paracetamol & bleach) but also that several products have 'updating pricing' - pasta was £1 now £1.50 & all multibuy offers have ended.

I prefer to nick my soap from hotels.

Some of these products should be online/delivery only and one per customer until the madness stops.

Flour? Folk must be into baking as they self isolate.

You clearly haven't read the govt advice on how many emergency flan cases you may have to bake in order to ward off infection.......

Sounds like she's going one step beyond what I suggested. Welcome to the house of fun, temptations on its way

Prawn cocktail I reckon

What!! There are other flavours?

 

[Dirty Harry]

Surely you mean her back doors.

Are you David Walliams ?

Went shopping earlier tonight. The shelves were low on most aisles.
Pasta not expected in stock till next week.
Certainly a lot of people have bulk bought items the last few days.

It’s madness..

 

[Hoghead]

Nope

 

[mikemcfc]

nope, just a regular little necessity shop today, but we witnessed the madness for the first time, despite the news saying not to hoard. Bog roll the only thing sold out, and the canned goods and pasta and sauce isle 2/3ds empty. everything else in good supply.
No need to panic buy as the news stated, but all checkouts jammed with a line-up all around the perimeter of the store to the back one way, 3 staff letting go one at time and directing folks to the next shortest line. the self checkout was the same in the other direction.
We only had 12 items, went to the express lane and were out of the store in 10 minutes instead of 1/2 hr. or longer wait.
We also shop the dollar stores for some name brand things that are way cheaper and they are still full stock on all food.

Went to the Greek butcher today and did a u turn as soon as I got inside. Absolutely mobbed. I thought it was Greek lamb sacrifice weekend.
I'll try again at tomorrow 8:00am when it opens.
