Janbo1874 Posted March 14 One way to stop this bog roll panic buying is for the shops only to stock this. Like wiping your ring piece with broken glass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also got plenty of emergency cider as well, just in case. You’ll probably chuck all your panic buys in the bin in a couple of months having used none of it. Stick to normal shopping patterns and the supermarkets can then stick to their normal stocking patterns. There’s no need for anyone to act like they live in a post apocalyptic world.

Jambo-Jimbo Posted March 15 Seen a report from Rome on sky news this morning, the reporter was standing in front of an empty St. Peter's Square, anyway she mentioned that even on day 6 of the lockdown people in Rome were not panic buying. My local Premier Store has now got a notice saying that people are only allowed one item of cleaning products, toiletries, pasta & rice. I think it's only a matter of time before the supermarkets will bring in similar measures, indeed I think some are starting to, because it's clear a lot of people are not acting responsibly so they'll have to be told they can't have 20 packets of pasta or 30 tins of beans, there is plenty of food and supplies for everybody, if some people stopped acting like selfish dicks, there'd be plenty for everyone.

Marvin Posted March 15 I bought a 20 pk of super soft tissues from Sainsbury for a small outlay of £2.00 odd, now selling on ebay a £5.00 a pop. If anyone wants one at a special JKB (paid members) price of £2.50 pm me. I've never known panic like this. The fact that shop customers are fighting over the last pack of bog roll on the shelf is quite entertaining. Makes up for missing the Hearts game.

I guess it depends on supply chains, which I guess governments and businesses will do their best to maintain. As for stoicism - it doesn’t create ‘likes’ on Instagrams.

Thing is, looking about I don't see anyone with lots of one thing.. Is there some supermarket conspiracy to leave shelves empty to wind up the public to panic buy more?

BarneyBattles Posted March 15 I was in Tesco Eskbank about 11am (as I am every Sunday). Much busier that usual and the checkout girl said it had been like that since she started at 5:30am. No mince and very little other meat, no pasta, bog roll, rolls etc. I asked a guy stacking shelves when the were re-stocking. Tonight he said ‘but it will all be gone in half an hour’. Utter dicks panic buying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
