The evidence of other countries, by the way, is this kind of selfishness is here for some time. Whatever we put on the shelves customers are going to pile into.
Went into our biggest store just after lunch today and it was just carnage. Spoke to one of the ladies running the store and she was telling me about all sorts of nasty stuff from customers and went on
‘And I know a customer who only comes in on a Thursday, an old lady who lives on her own. I have just given her a ring to see if she needs anything and she said she was struggling for toilet roll. I told her I’ve put a pack aside for her in the office’
If it wasn’t for social distancing I’d have given her a big hug
Update - latest from the industry is we will have at least another 5 weeks of this nonsense (using other countries as the model)
Unintended consequences - food banks running out because there is next to no food waste and selfishness has kicked in.
