Worlds gone mad, I saw a woman in my local Morrison’s at the weekend running round clutching 5 bottles of domestos!!

They probably have it all at home anyway.
Do these people who can queue for hours not have jobs?
I'm going to end up wiping my arse with socks and eating pot noodles. Could job I have been practising for years.

Said before, I usually pop into Tesco around 7 pretty much everyday anyway. Never, ever had to queue before for the tills, but today, big queue!
I would have turned on my heels if it wasn't for the fact that my dad wanted a few things.
To be quite honest, unless I desperately need something right now, I am done with supermarkets until it all calms down a bit.

I don't get why people are queuing for hours to get little bits. Just go to a small shop.
I bet most of them want to go home and post pictures on Facebook.
I'm waiting for Intel on andrex deliveries and I'm going to hijack

But is that a local shop for local people?
If so I am a bit scared to go in.
If they say 'We will have no trouble here' I'm legging it .

Providing me with exotic random beers for 10 years, you might need to know the secret password.
Everybody is hammering supermarkets but smaller, independent local shops are looking after their customers better as they know them all and wont let them take the piss.

I've said it before, sainsbury's trinity street is good for picking bits up right now. Really hard to mess buy as there is no car park

I heard she threw them over the fruit section, got done for bleach of the peach.
no wonder London’s a major spread area, if one person in that scrum has it Im guessing most of them would have it by now !!!

Things like this always make me realise how we're not that far removed from cattle. The only difference being that herd animals don't deliberately get themselves in these kind of situations.

Went to Morrisons in Northampton this morning to see if I could grab some cat and dog biscuits (just the 1 bag mind!) - in 13 years of driving past it I’ve never seen so many cars in the car park, even more than at Xmas.
20 trolley long queues at the checkouts at 7.30am.
50 or so people (and empty trolleys) crowding round the toilet paper section waiting.... I guess there was some incoming imminently.
I think I’m right in saying that Morrison’s haven’t put restrictions on items yet or are allowing older and vulnerable people in for an hour at the start?

To be honest you'd be better off wiping your arse with the pot noodles and eating the socks. Far more nutritious.

Why do people like Pot Noodles? It's like eating elastic bands from a container of seasoned piss water.

Just been to our local Tescos and got chatting with the guy I know on the fish counter. Part of their problem is lack of staff and getting deliveries through. So I've applied for a temp job there to help. I'd encourage anyone else in a position to help to do something similar. These are amongst the most critical jobs now - ensuring that people can get food.

Tesco at the Ricoh was like Christmas Eve this morning...7:45 am and rammed. Oh dear. Only went for dog food. Kibble Curry is an acquired taste. 20% protein as well. The only problem is I’m sniffing the floor and cocking my leg up.

Popped into check in on my mum and dad earlier . Bearing in mind everyday over the last 10 days I’ve been checking that they have bits and bobs in my mum who is 80 with an underlying heart problem announced her and my dad were going shopping tomorrow as is their usually routine . I politely suggested I’ll do the shopping for her and went to Aldi . I don’t think they realise how serious this is or if people of a younger generation are panic merchants

Only logical thing for that, is she runs a cleaning company.

Thats the thing, some prick would think nothing of barging past them to get 20 tins of something they dont need.
