The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

ITV announce a new daytime game to replace the Supermarket Dash. Couples will run around the store stopping at each area of empty shelves and guess what they were full to the top with just a few days ago. Competitors will chosen from couples with sick children, those looking after at least one parent who is doubly incontinent, couples with many hungry children who have to buy cheap tinned stuff in small quantities when they sre paid, living from hand to mouth and those with any other disadvantage caused by the over buying. Thr winners will be those who get the most correct items in the quickest time but all will get a go at the prizes.
The prizes will be going to the houses of of the selfish twats caught on camera as they fill their trolleys (excuse pun) with stockpiled items.
Once the winners have managed to climb over the huge pile of goods in the house they will be allowed five minutes telling the selfish twats exactly what they think of them. This will be followed by another 5 minutes with thr cameras turned off (it is daytime tv) in which the winners of the game will be allowed to hurl tins (to avoid waste) at the selfish twats
who wanted as much as they could get.
 
Just went to the butchers when it opened at 8am and got the last chicken breast. Turns out there was a line up at 7:30am so they let them in.
I couldn't even get in the door yesterday. I told the butcher that these cunts need to save some food for the rest of us.
 
If you need bog roll forget the big supermarkets,try the likes of SPAR and NISA on the estates.In Tesco this morning not a bog roll in sight,walked 5 mins down the road to SPAR and they have loads and you can have as many as you want. (I only bought I pack of 12)
 
I notice no one has been on this thread admitting to buying three car loads of bog roll recently. I'm guessing they are waiting for the rest of us to die before posting?
 
Just did my first. Not for shortage, I doubt there will be one, but to not mix with potentially infected people in eventual crisis.
 
People panic buy because they see others do it empty shelves and panic buy them selves! If a video went viral that ketchup will have shortage people would buy boxes of ketchup
 
Went to Tesco for some paracetamol but all sold out. Then I noticed a shelf stacker sheepishly carrying a bag of something towards that area of the aisle. More paracetamol! But all the boxes crushed and torn, looked like they'd been trawling the stores for random packs that had fallen down the back of the warehouse shelves, under the fridge etc.

Still, bought 2 packs. It's madness, some of the aisles looked like a plague of locusts had been at them.
