Common sense seems to go out the window .

Frozen food is the best to buy as it will last ages ,just put it in the freezer and eat it whenever.

I can sort of understand the tinned food and pasta , but the fresh stuff needs to be eaten straight away.

We only have a small freezer which is always jammed full of stuff. Apparently there was a rush on people panic buying chest freezers too and you can't get one anymore

Oops , that's unfortunate if you only have a small freezer.

We always buy the huge sacks (far more economical) but I usually go last minute when it's literally a meal or two from empty, whereas there's a good 2 weeks left in the current bag this time. But now she's sorted for 2 months. Wish we ALL just ate doggy kibble, much easier to stockpile when it's just one big nutritionally complete bag .

Wait! I've got it! The solution to all of our problems...

It's a joke now, and its not really fair to expect supermarket staff to have to put up with the inevitable abuse

They will need to rearrange how the supermarkets/food shopping is done for everyone's safety if people are carrying on like that

To be fair it did say the elderly or vulnerable which includes younger immune compromised people. The same people that are bleating about it are doing it themselves that's why.

Spoke to a guy in Tesco who pointed out a woman with a full trolley has been in every day this week at the same time filling her trolley ridiculously high.

It's pathetic.
