They need to stop people bulk buying right from the off.

The fascination with stock piling toilet paper still blows my mind.

.. Toilet paper are non perishables, but essential

If you think there's going to be another shortage, why not stock up?

I certainly won't apologise for stocking up an essential item for myself and my family

Last time this happened I was in Asda and the pasta shelves were empty and a bit of commotion , a woman had a pallet and was telling people they could only have 2 in total each , not 2 pasta and 2 rice , but 2 of 1 or 1 of each. This woman at the front of the informal mad max food ration queue, eager to get her allowance of carbs , then asks what is the difference between pasta and rice

Made my day

Guess people are also worried that the delivery slots will be all taken again so they are stocking up now

The way things are looking we'll all be on rations by February anyway, so I don't really blame people for stocking up on a few essentials. The people I resent are the ones who load their trollies with loo roll, pasta, flour etc. and leave nothing for everyone else.

"The supermarkets should be ordered to allow only 1 item they are causing the problem and happy to take the money "

I get the thinking behind that but during lockdown our neighbour did a lot of our shopping for us, she has 4 kids herself so when she could only buy 1 loaf of bread ect.. at a time it meant going to several shops and just a waste of time and energy.

Everyone should only buy what they need its that simple.

Whilst there are idiots out there who do this, there are also very valid reasons people buy regularly in such bulk.

For example my friend works as a coordinator for our local food bank.

More and more people are donating cash rather than food.

She went to a supermarket 2 days ago and brought 24 cans of soup, 24 cans of tomatoes, 12 long life milk, 16 packs of sanity towels and 2 trays of baby food for the food bank.

As she was in the queue for the tills a delightful young woman called her a selfish cunt that should be ashamed of herself.

(Copyed from the message she sent)

So just remember not everything is as it seems.

There is no shortage whatsoever.

It’s idiots buying in bulk that break the daily sales trend, which means the computer system which generates the order from the shop to the warehouse won’t order enough as it’s based on trend sales. Not people stocking up.

Strangely enough the shops are bang on. Don’t panic buy! There’s ample out there.

Even if your are a Karen and do panic buy. It will just be replaced a day or two later. Until the next Karen panics and buys it all, and so on etc.

Just carry on and buy the usual.

Plenty of toilet roll and pasta (bought another two bags for a £1 yesterday) in my local Asda. Since I started living on my own in 2016 I’ve always bulk bought stuff, basically two of everything at least, mainly because I hate going to the supermarket.

It also allows me to use local greengrocers for my veg and fruit

"Why are they idiots?

Maybe they've learnt from last full lockdown

All shops need to stop Idiots loading a trolley with any item stock pilling causes everyone problems.

Maybe some need to smarten up, and realise we live in a dog eat dog World.

oh well perfect then. I'll leave my position on the nhs frontline and run to asda to stockpile essentials since apparently I'm not smart enough working 12 hour shifts back to back. Furthermore I'll just don't help anyone else only the ones I like and I'll start stockpiling all the medications I can find in my workplace and I won't share them with anyone else especially with people like you. Is that being smart to you? Lucky you we are not all as idiots and selfish as you are otherwise you'll probably be dead in the event of a real deadly virus.
