The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

Supermarkets shortening opening hours and limiting stock. Been to Tesco and Asda, literally nothing worth buying what is left on the shelves.

Oh, I don't know, my local ASDA has plenty of gin. What more do I need?

Nope, but I seem to be in a minority. Credit where it's due for making special provision for older folk but what about us working-class oiks fortunate enough to be in full-time employment?

I know what you mean. Most working folk can only get to the shops long after the shelves have been stripped. ~Thankfully the supermarkets are now planning to restrict the amount of each item you can buy, so hopefully it won't look so much like Russia @1973 when you go in there after work.
 
Went to the range earlier. Loads left. I think people are missing a trick here.
 
We'll have another few days of the village idiots panic buying because of the schools closing. Next week, things will plateau out and those that have bought enough Pot Noodles to sink an army can crack on and then make use of the 1000 toilet rolls they've bought. Muppets.
 
I’ve been availing myself of the offerings at the shops in the district that abuts by somewhat gentrified city centre area, and have been doing for some days now. More nimble on their feet and able to cope better with shifting demand than the big boys it would seem, although I’ve heard the cash and carries are now starting to run low. Frequently the only white guy around whenever I've been up there, which surprised me. People’s survival instincts have become blunted by years of comfortable living.

Probably won’t matter, but crazy they’ve been continuing to look in the wrong place, despite wanting the prize so much.
 
Fucking hell I have been working 18 hour days this week. Just come home and been to Sainsbury’s and there is nowt. Mrs ww is at her mums with the kid and I literally have 4 pot noodles.

Might be less cuddly next time anyone sees me.
