The cynic inside me is thinking that food shops are deliberately withholding restocking because it means as more and more people panic buy, items which would not normally be purchased in large numbers are being bought up because is all that is left. This means the food shops are making way more money than they normally would because EVERYTHING is going.

If the food shop was to restock, the items people wouldn't normally purchase would still be on the shelves.

The reason i say this is because I went in my local high street Iceland and they have not bothered to restock ANYTHING. I was in there on Monday and reported how bad it was but i wanted to get some crisps so decided to pop in an see what they had. I should have taken some pictures because no word of a lie, the ONLY tin food that was left was 3 tins of marrowfat peas and 2 tins of meatballs in gravy.

How are people supposed to feed themselves if food shops are not clamping down seriously hard on hoarders and not restocking properly.

There's a load of confusion about.

In Asda today the woman infront of us in the queue was complaining she'd been told she could only buy 3 loose bananas ... but if she'd bought them pre-packed she could have had more ...3 packs worth.

The worlds gone mad ... and the woman on the till was coughing (into her crooked elbow) and blew her nose twice.
We all belatedly jumped back to acceptable social distancing and just as smartly jumped back into line in the queue.

What is worrying is, if the elderly and vunerable get to shop first in supermarkets, it's likely that they'll not only be easy targets for thieves but possibly abused by other shoppers believing them to be getting preferencial treatment.
The more people who lose jobs the worse it will get.
