Absolutely insane. We just got a message from the local police that they will be sending around more patrols to our senior community. Seriously...the police?
I can't help wondering what it is t hat didn't sell on those shelves there. It is so disheartening to see how people have panicked over supplies unnecessarily. They say the smaller supermarkets are still well stocked. I hope people (those that are able) will transfer their allegiance to local shops and change their shopping habits for the better.
Wow- that looks pretty bad! Even though some shelves were empty at my supermarket the produce section was still well-stocked. I have no idea why people are shopping the way they are. And now I hear there are all sorts of people selling this stuff on the internet for crazy prices. Absolutely insane!
gracious. I'm hoping that perishables will be restocked a bit more quickly than other things. Otherwise I'm going to out of luck when I go to the grocery store tomorrow.
@helenhall I think they were cabbages Helen ... I was really shocked when I saw the shelves. No veg, not much meat, paper products non existent as shelves stripped bare, and pharmacy showing notice saying don't bother trying to buy thermometers, Paracetamol, hand gel or sanitiser, there isn't any.
@fbailey felicity we went to the Coop, Lidl, and two smaller independent stores (we missed out ASDA as the shelves were about empty) and just about managed to get everything on her list
Whoa! I have never seen anything like that. It reminds me of stories I hear of wartime, communist times, but not of any recent world I know! Good for the stores, but bad for morale in general. Take care!
