And that's the problem. Like I just said to Nicky, this kind of thing brings out the very best in people, and also the very worst.

Exactly,imo the cashier should have had the authority to take some of those off her, but then they would probably get abuse,I don't understand the mindset of people being selfish like that, especially when there is no food shortage as yet.:fist:

We should shame them with the shaming finger of shame. Cashiers should put their winkypop light on when they get a hoarder and we should all point at them and say "Shame on you.... "

Kazanne 18-03-2020 11:41 AM

has anyone tried this ? could be helpful to those who cant get about or need something that they cant get at their local supermarkets.

Be careful flushing kitchen roll, Vanessa. It's not supposed to be flushed and could block up your toilet.

Yeah, I won't flush it. I'm still hoping to get some toilet roll. Maybe in my local corner shop?

I already bulk buy stuff from Amazon because it's cheaper, so long as you have somewhere to store it. Dog food, toilet rolls, cleaning stuff... And I do it through Amazon smile and every time I shop they give a donation to the RSPCA. Bloody love Amazon, even if they don't pay their tax.

You'll get some Ness, once stupid people wake up and realise there's enough for everyone.

Prior to the warnings,people were already crazy buying it out , as paracetamol is a less stronger tablet . it's always been more popular than ibruforen .
