The idiocy (and selfishness) of panic buying

[manimanc]

Anybody live in the whitefield area and need pasta then the Roma restaurant next to morrisons has shelf upon shelf of any type of pasta you can think of, obviously they are shut as a restaurant but have turned themselves into a supermarket.
For £10 I bought 3 packets of penne pasta and 3 packets of spaghetti and I'll be calling in again.
But ssh don't tell anyone, just between us whitefield folk ;)

Went to Tesco today straight after wrinklies hour. Lots of everything including loo roll. Staff were sitting at the tills with no customers. Hopefully, the panic is over.

Until they announce a lockdown.

I suspect you are right bud, there'll be a rush but I am hoping it wont be a stampede, only time will tell.

A school in Essex has had food stolen from its kitchen - days before it was due to provide support for the children of key workers.

Gosfield School in Halstead says it suffered the "extensive" burglary over weekend, where thieves took four commercial-sized freezers of food and most of the dry and chilled produce in the kitchen

In a statement on Facebook, the school said: "Of course this means that we are unable to feed the children of critical workers who are attending school today, and the staff who have kindly volunteered to come in and run the skeleton operation to make this work, and we won't be able to feed the children and staff for the foreseeable future.

"Members of staff have been into Halstead to purchase food early this morning but with restrictions on what they are allowed to purchase this is not straightforward

"Therefore we would respectfully request that all children of key workers who are attending school bring along a packed lunch, nut free snacks and a water bottle.

Read that. Absolutely disgusting. I would love 10 minutes in a locked cage with a baseball bat, with whichever c*nts did that!

Make sure you do it in a controlled manner.

Any NHS workers who've been food shopping during the dedicated hours given by supermarkets ?

Was there a noticeable difference in availability of stuff

The corner shop around here has loads of loo rolls, problem is they're £1.50 each

Needed something from Argos and the nearest to me that had stock was Warrington Birchwood
Right next door is an Aldi, so I popped in and they had loads of everything

Fully intended to panic buy at the weekend, but when I got to the shops realised the shopping list was in a different order to the aisles in tescos so just thought 'fuck it' and went home.
