They need the army to man the supermarkets that way they can stop people over buying and stop them sending their family and freinds in after

I dont understand why people need 100 rolls of toilet paper a house when the side effects has nothing to do with needing toilet paper

Toilet rolls can be so much cheaper than tissues, and the is a lot of coughing and spluttering ahead.

[Liam-]

I think it’s also a case of if we are completely **** down and forced to stay inside, imagine running out of toilet paper a week into a 2 month forced quarantine

[AnnieK]

Aldi had limits of 4 per customer for tinned stuff, no toilet rolls or pasta and very few eggs. It was manic though....on a slightly better note the m60 was like a Sunday morning at rush hour....

[Twosugars]

Gonna do a shop today, Monday lunchtime shouldn't be busy. Wonder how our local supermarkets are holding up

[Crimson Dynamo]

the CEO of Aldi just emailed me to reassure me

[user104658]

I was in the local co-op today (which has full shelves other than paracetamol...) and all of the old folks were out, I felt really bad for them. Chatting away in little groups - none really worried about Covid but all really scared that they're going to be "forced" to stay in their houses for 4 months. Doesn't help that that's what's plastered all over the front of the newspaper stand. All saying "I'm getting out for my morning walk while I'm still allowed".

Honestly I think so much damage is being done that goes way beyond the scope of the infection itself and no one is really paying much attention.

Same happened in Spain, originally there were going to be just 4 regions in lockdown, but they released the info and many headed to the Costas

Was down in my local shop this morning, they had everything although they were low on eggs

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ex Mrs LTs parents just spent Ł1200 in Waitrose stocking up for the self iso (mostly wine)

[Marsh.]

I panicked this morning and bought an Easter egg.

Surely the supermarkets have to take some responsibility for people stockpiling. I mean, no pasta, eggs or toilet roll.... anywhere. Tell the stupid stockpilers that they're limited to what they can buy.

Limits are in place.
Online as well.
But you can buy 2x24 loo roll packs, maybe they need to cut it down.
Footfall is massive at the minute so more people are buying what’s on the shelves.

Exactly, it doesn't matter if they limit everything to 1 per customer... if every customer in the shop is buying 1, every time they're in.

[Cherie]

Went to Marks everything was as normal apart from pasta and toilet paper

[bots]

i ordered up a home delivery from Asda, but it was 6 days before there were any free slots. We have plenty food in, so it's no big deal, but we have never waited anything like that time on an order before

edit, just to add if you need to self-isolate, you let them know in a note when you create your order and they will leave the stuff for you in bags wherever you want it

The only way is ration cards if it's a long term problem
