The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

The panic is suiting the food retailers at the mo, are they creating a panic by not filling the shelves?
No.

Posted this last night I've never been in a store at that time of night, and I regularly whinge when in store during the day they have their trolleys blocking the aisle when refilling shelves. There were around 100 putting stuff out last night, and there were crates of stuff waiting to be put out in every single aisle, the place looked like it had been ransacked, but the stuff was certainly going out.

I think they are doing a brilliant job, and were all hard at work.
 
I bought a basket full of rice from Aldi this morning, people don't seem to be panic buying it at the minute so I thought I'd fill my boots. I also got one of the two last bags of curly pasta, didn't want to look a cheeky fucker.

Toilet roll is still a no show.
Did the rice not fall through the holes in the basket? I’d have bought bags instead
 
Each and every person who has done this is a **** of the very highest order. If you are one you are a selfish disgrace.

I would have the army on the door of supermarkets with orders to shoot any fucker that does it before returning the shopping to be had by less selfish people.

I am not joking either they deserve no less...fucking twats.

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.
