Since we came back in mid-January I’ve been doing the shopping early doors to avoid other people. Usually around 7am but has gotten earlier each morning. Theres’s usually me, the staff and one or two other blokes in there. Today there was a queue outside the store to get in. As soon as the doors opened the locusts descended on the pasta and toilet rolls, what the Rucker they’re eating with the pasta god alone knows.
Walking round there was an old woman with two 24 packs of toilet role in her trolley, one or two other items. “You do know you’ve got enough there for almost a year don’t you?”
Carried on to see a different woman with three, yes three which is now the limit, 10kg bags of pasta. Within 5 minutes all the pasta had gone.
I wanted to get some lager, the premium lager is always on offer at four bottles for £6. So i checked with a supervisor could I get 4 and she said no, three was the limit. So instead of four Tiger beers I got three Tiger beers and a Cobra, Estrella, unfortunately, was sold out. What’s ridiculous is I could have got three crates of Amstel, and three crates of *name other drink they sell* as well as an additional three crates, but I couldn’t have four bottles of Tiger?
Next up was wine, three bottles she said. What three bottles of Malbec?, three of Sauvignon?, three of Shiraz etc etc, “no! Three bottles of red and three of white”. Fucking Philistine.
We nearly came to blows over my six bananas.....
All Smirnoff and Russian vodka gone, going to have to treat myself to some Belvedere or Grey Goose if vodka goes, no one panic buying them.
Best result was the pack of toilet rolls I could get my daughter as she had only one roll left and a pack of flour for my other daughter so her husband could make some pies.
