The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[cleavers]

I've made sure the wine rack is remaining at full capacity just in case.

It does appear that wine is now being bought more vigorously, which is a worry.

The panic is suiting the food retailers at the mo, are they creating a panic by not filling the shelves?

No excuse whatsoever these people clearing the shelves should be ashamed. I would'nt piss on them if they were on fire.

Each and every person who has done this is a **** of the very highest order. If you are one you are a selfish disgrace.

We use a particular brand of hand soap that's normally £2 a bottle, not seen any since last week, so thought I could order a couple of bottles from amazon, £16 a bottle on there, its not necessarily panic buying its people just being greedy twats.

Bloody should do, village my missus works in has small supermarket over the road (its a chain, so likely a franchise operation), her colleague went in yesterday, and they had toilet roll, of the shitty cheap variety, normally a couple of £ for 4, they were charging £6.50 yesterday, she asked the guy on the till why, he held his hands up and said "not my decision", that sort of stuff really grinds my gears.

So the elderly who are now told to only go out for essentials, and have probably supported their "local store" for years are being ripped off by greedy twats like that store owner.

Makes me fume reading stuff like this.

Isn't profiteering illegal in this country
