The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Good old Sky announced an increase to their prices today. No surprise there!

really? I’m off to Tesco then.

Yeah from what I saw in there yesterday evening, wasn't they didn't have any but many of my favourites were absent, oh a don't expect any special offers if you do, they're nearly all gone, ie all full price.

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.

Hopefully the cunts will get what they deserve when this is all over and end up with no customers.

I’ve noticed that on food too. Never miss a trick companies do they

The corner shop near me has spam at £4.80.. FOR ONE TIN OF SPAM! There was loads of it (unsurprisingly)

Did the rice not fall through the holes in the basket? I’d have bought bags instead

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.

They want fucking stringing up

And that greedy twat store owner probably bought a few trolley loads from Tesco at the start of the crisis.

Brick through window time.

Maybe it was gourmet spam?
