Panic Buying

Couldnt get any dog food in Asda Seaham yesterday, now, I dont care if I cant eat for a day or two, but, my dog, no one ****s with my dog!

 

Why do you eat dog food?

 

There's plenty of Pangolin.

 

We use tails.com for our dog. Free two week trial, tailored to your dog’s age, weight, activity levels and condition and similar in price to high street brands.

And I guarantee you that there is at least one **** out there that’s bought dog food when they don’t have a dog.

 

Ha’way the dog

 

People need to think outside of the box

 

Bear in mind that chicken will have been hanging around for the last 3 weeks. How do you feel this morning ?

 

Great dog food now being stockpiled. I’m now forced to stockpile because every other c*nt is doing it and my dog can’t go hungry. Selfish c*nts. I hope this virus does wipe out half the population.

 

You do know that dogs can eat regular people food (with some exceptions)

My brother doesn't feed his pug dog food at all and the little b****** is more than happy, overly energetic and annoying as **** on that diet as it is.

 

A friend in Germany tells me everyone’s panic buying sausages and cheese. It’s the Wurst Käse scenario.

 

Yep, got to keep it nice and plump for when the food runs out...

 

The thing that is annoying me with panic-buying is that if it doesn’t calm down (which I expect it to) then normal, sane people will be forced to join in.

 

Judging by the way he furously licks his gentials and shoves what little nose he has in to other dogs arses you're welcome to that all by yourself.

 

Cifriana says now the English supermarket shelves look like the Cuban supermarket shelves...

 

They could also eat regular people....

 

Anyone want to panic buy a sh*tload of hardwood flooring accessories from me?

Have any of you tried shopping first thing in the morning? Every time I’ve been into a shop for an item recently it’s obviously been a cluster but that’s straight after everyone has finished work. Planning on getting some fresh stuff for my mum who is high risk and staying in, there’s a Tesco near me that opens at 6am, I just can’t be arsed with selfish mouthbreathers at the minute so I’m hoping it’ll be quiet.

 

Ridiculous scenes in Waitrose yesterday morning.
No lavatory paper,kitchen roll.
No tinned beans or tomatoes.
No chicken,beef or eggs apart from one box of quails eggs.
One gentleman had a trolley full of wine. I smiled at him and he grinned. It wasn't Jeff Bernard!
I was worried for the wildlife but I found Lidls and Tesco Express to be much better stocked.
Come ON Great Britain show some mettle.

 

Proves that the famous Bulldog Blitz British spirit was never anything other than a nostalgic fantasy.

 

I had the same thought but how does it work with the golden oldies hour ? Surely that can't just be 6am to 7am ? I heard it was 8-9 but if that's the case, what happens 6-8 ???

 

A lot of people in Lidl's massive queue this morning were complaining about not being let into Iceland. I noticed that Poundwhateverthef**kitis in B'wood had lots of signs saying something about not being able to buy multiples of anything.

 

Good on you for not joining in!

Everyone really is out for themselves. The worst culprits are those who obsess about other people on Facebook, pretending to care about others peoples’ business but when push comes to shove they couldn’t give a flying **** about anyone but themselves. So what do you do? Do you join and say actually if I don’t grab this loo roll or that bag of pasta someone else who likely doesn’t need it will get it? For now I’m with you, try to do what you think is right and not be part of the hysteria. I’m not sure how anyone can justify spending the amounts of money some are when the near future is so uncertain. It really is each to their own.

 

That's plain crazy. Who wants to eat chicken at 8am ??

 

The hoarding is completely illogical. If it gets really really really bad and society collapses then people will just take what others have hoarded with violence. More realistic scenario is they have wasted a load of money. Lose lose for the hoarders.

 

I'm of the opinion that there is nothing wrong with having a couple of weeks worth of non-perishables for a rainy day. I reckon before all of this most people did have some pasta & rice kicking around a cupboard, therefore with a possible two-week lockdown most people would have been OK anyway particularly as the first few days any sensible person would want to use their perishable stuff.

But this situation is completely uncalled for. OK I get it that some people wanted to get a bit extra, similar to what people may do prior to Christmas to save themselves an extra trip, but there should still have been enough for everyone to go around.

I swear some people had never seen, let alone bought, a bar of soap before this.

 

Dug the Pug would struggle me thinks. Whislt he is a bit of a bruiser with powerful jaws, his teeth are like braille dots.

 

It's worth taking your mum to one of the supermarkets that's opening an hour early exclusively for the old folks.

Sainsburys was ridiculous at 8:00 this morning, but I'd have to say coping quite well with the throughput. Obviously no pharmaceuticals, loo roll or more importantly tonic for my gin.

What peopel don't get is that hoarding just means people have to keeep going back to get what they actually need. I've been to the supermarket 6 times this week and still failed to obtain everythign my folks need.

 

My 84 yo mum went to Sainsburys at the Dome Roundabout this morning - half an hour before opening. Queue of cars was out onto the A41. She gave up. The initial humour about British ***kwittedness was amusing at first (myself guilty as anyone) but this is actually very serious. For example

Other countries don't have this issue (apart from our ***kwit Yank cousins, who are queuing for guns fer feck sake).) The Brits in the Three Valleys region in the Alps stripped all the supermarkets bare on their exodus like a plague of locusts. Are we unique in having such a lack of civic duty? Is it our shittye education system? Is it our grotesque media? And whilst some may not like that I politicise this, has our general uselessness not maybe persuaded those of you who think 'we know brexit is going to hurt, but we've faced worse in the war' to rethink that certainty?

 

I now quite like wiping my bottom with aloe vera moisturised tissues in place of loo roll, and might continue to do so even when this thing is over.

 

Yeah, right. No other country.

 

Supermarkets could and should have done something about panic buying days ago. Instead they sat back as the ££££s rolled in.
