Went to Tesco last night at about 23:00 and a grumpy shelf stacker had a go at me for being a panic buyer.
I had about 6 things in my trolley. I couldn't stop myself calling him a silly sausage.

Would have agreed with you but they had a point with it being 6*30 pack of bog roll in the trolly

:whistle:

Went to lidl earlier, guy on counter said he was surprised it is so quiet but reckoned the shelves will be empty by 2 as they had been most days.

Just spent an hour sauntering about in Lewes Town Centre and the market.
Place was packed with everyone seemingly oblivious of the danger they were in :moo:

I went to buy some paracetamols earlier, to find the Lloyds chemists shelves empty.
The pharmacist said people had been panic buying. Idiots.
Ive got a headache.

It's a shame because the people that cant panic buy, those on low incomes living from one pay day to another and vulnerable/ elderly living on their own will be the ones that suffer due to this, just like everything else really.

Went to Tesco's earlier and an elderly gent had at least 10 bottles of bleach in his trolley. Maybe he's going to bathe in it. No pasta of any description or tinned tomatoes but plenty of loo rolls though

I don’t get it as certainly doesn’t seem to be any real problems yet in South London except with Paracetamol. Lidl was very well stocked last night when I popped in for a bottle of vino and Sainsbury’s in East Dulwich had everything I needed earlier in the week.

Wonder if any of our recruitment team, browsing NSC, saw this thread title - and decided it was best not to open it!

He might be cleaning up a messy crime scene. Leave him alone.

It is stocking up in case of illness and self isolation. It is not a worry that the shops will run out of stuff.
 






Plenty of stuff, including loo rolls, at Lewes Aldi, and there was no evidence of panic buying at the Harvey's shop thank goodness.
