The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

The problem with that is, i agree in principal btw, people just take more family members so that bypasses the one person limits. Technically it is 3 or whatever people but if 12yo timmy his mum and sister all go in and buy seperately there is not much a shop can do to stop that. Security wise there are legal issues with stopping people physically i think or at least they can't hire enough security to police their rules. What is one security chap on minimum wage going to do in the face of 4-5 blokes ransacking a shelf? Even 3-4 security can't police a glut of customers at once. The shops are a bit helpless as we can't expect a 60 odd yo checkout lady to tell an on edge 40yo chap he can't have xyz.

Most places should be ok with extra security but the hotspots would probably need trained riot police to keep things in check.
Yeah you're probably right but it winds me up - I'll probably have to order online in future to avoid a full blown row with someone.
