Well,it's on it's way. With pubs,restaurants and cafes shutting,home food consumption will put more pressure on food shops. As panic buying is increasing,rationing has to come in. How it is going to work,God knows.
Most supermarkets are only allowing a set number of items per customer to prevent the greedy selfish bastards stockpiling. But what's to stop another family member going back in immediately afterwards - how to they police that?
Shops cant police it,its down to the authorities. Never experienced rationing,so really dont appreciate the logistics involved.
All the selfish pricks will be stocked up, some normalcy will resume eventually in the meantime if supermarkets continue to restrict sales of individual items we'll be alright. I say this in the queue to get into COSTCO. Admittedly mainly because I got the Sundayopening time wrong 11 not 10! Bah!
Apparently UK households currently contain £1 billion pounds worth of groceries more than they normally would?
But thats only £40 per household (based on uk gov fig of 25M houses)Got to be more than that surely. Popped into Tesco to buy newspaper this morning,not as chaotic as last Sunday.Perhaps we are taking notice
Supermarkets plan by computer modelling of normal behaviour. These are not normal times, so they will adjust, gradually. Our last shop at Tesco was much more like normal.
So far the Portuguese seem to be behaving far more rationally than the British (but then the apartments here all have bidets).
In Australia i've noticed there's plenty of fresh fruit and veg in the supermarkets. The hoarders have focused on the long-life stuff (and bog rolls obviously). Plenty of empty shelves in other isles but the fresh stuff looks like normal... For now.
Bog rolls in Asda this morning. Can only buy 3 bottles of wine though. Now that is a pain in the harris
Morrison's had punnets of wonky grapes, £1 for 400 grammes. So with all that time on your hands, you can tread them grapes and make your own
Got a couple of bottles in Morrison's yesterday but noticed all the below £5 bottles in extremely short supply - as in all gone. Consequence of pub closures, obviously.
No, but install stocks and pillories, then while on the one walk a day you can walk past the moron and throw an empty can at them or something
