Stop stockpiling

Just been in Sainsburys about an hour ago and was given a lovely bunch of tulips complete with a vase completely free as I was leaving. They had 2 ladies on the door with all the Mothers Day flowers and gifts they didn't sell yesterday and they were offering all customers leaving a choice to take any one of them.

With people not listening about going out and the threat of a bigger lock down will people be worse at stockpiling as I just seen my neighbour with 13 bags of shopping for a family of 5.

Sadly it is times like these that bring out both the best and the worst in people. You have to say though it seems to be the worst that currently has the upper hand.

My personal thoughts are that people are stocking up either expecting shortages or a long self isolation period  coupled with a belief that the government will be unable to arrange food delivery to individual homes.

Good points, I wonder just how many selfish panic buyers read these comments, it seems to me with these selfish people is it just a case of survival of the fittest and sod everyone else?

I'd forgotten about this thread.

How about this shining example?
