The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

Good luck with your lock down bud and stay safe. I'm off out after 2 days inside in half an hour to queue at Tescos for a few bits and like you am dreading the dregs of humanity running round greedily hoovering everything up.
Cat food
Bog roll if poss
Chocolate and crisps
I refuse full stop to fight for these items, if I get them then I get them.

I last went in the shops on sunday, morrisons near me not my prefered shop but as it it walking distance and so I avoided buses it will do.

I walked round with a basket getting a normal shop while everyone had trolleys full, they all probably thought I was the crazy one, at one point I was in the soap area pondering whether to get one of the last three soap bar pack of 4 as the only thing left and had some hovering around wiating to pounce on the rest as soon as I shifted, I could have been a **** and picked up all three to piss them off, but I don't need them so why bother.

Same as you when I go up later will get what I can hoefully some stuff will be stocked and peopemwill have given consideration to the elderly getting priority this morning request.
 
Yesterday was day 3 of trying to get some stuff our 16 month old will actually eat in my 'window' between me getting home and Wife going back to the hospital to work night shift. Result was I bought a packet of fucking crisps.

People like you people are keeping us going bud and I thank you for that, the selfishness the public are displaying is beyond the pale. It was easy for me today because most of the stuff on sale I can eat but feeding children must be a lot harder in this environment.

Again and I mean this sincerely thank your wife and yourself from me and mine, I thanked the checkout staff this morning too because without them we wouldn't be getting fed.

Whereabouts are you ?
I’m going out later and don’t mind picking up bits if it helps out .
Plus, it’s cathartic to point at the knobheads in store buying dried pasta .
Im sure this could be a wake up css as ll if other people want to help out too .
 
I need to pick up some celery smoked salmon and bangles later I'm hoping to god its not all sold out #frustratedfromlangley
