The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

Oh, I don't know, my local ASDA has plenty of gin. What more do I need?Supermarkets shortening opening hours and limiting stock. Been to Tesco and Asda, literally nothing worth buying what is left on the shelves.

Government say supermarket supply lines are well equipped, should be back to normal soonish.

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.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?

Local spa seemed fairly well stocked this morning, save for bakery items and tinned produce. Didn't get everything for my isolating parents but most things.

Smaller shops often a better bet. Stockpliling cunts can't be arsed with shops where they don't have trolleys.Local spa seemed fairly well stocked this morning, save for bakery items and tinned produce. Didn't get everything for my isolating parents but most things.

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.

Been saying this a while - look in the poorer suburbs. Altrincham and didsbury are full of folk with cash or savings or abundant credit on the hip. If youre hand to mouth week by week, it doesnt matter how many bog rolls you want to buy if youve only got a quid left...

I sincerely hope next time we meet you say “you have put weight on you fat fuck - can I buy you a pint”. Nothing would give me greater pleasure.
