It aint a "little" extra though, its people with full trolleys of the same product, the internets full of pictures of it. some are shopkeepers hoping to make a profit and sell on for 3 times the price...id stamp them all with **** on their foreheads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Fiat500 Â Â 17 #66 Posted March 18, 2020 The closing of the meat and fish counters was mentioned a few days ago. Went in Sainsburys yesterday and they had already closed their meat and fish counter. There is now no washing powder or tablets. Why do people need so much? I am filling my handwash containers with shower gel. Perhaps shouldn't have said that, that will disappear now.

This is to free up staff to stock shelves with toilet rolls and has been widely trailed in the media.  I imagine meat and fish will still be available but only in trays Edited March 18, 2020 by andyofborg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister M   1,625 #69 Posted March 18, 2020 I see that the Spar by the Train Station is selling toilet rolls for £1 each https://www.thestar.co.uk/health/coronavirus/sheffield-spar-store-sells-individual-toilet-rolls-ps1-during-coronavirus-crisis-2483699  I really hope that they don't sell any. In fact, I hope they don't get any customers at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The CMA/ Watchdog have issued some warnings on retailers profiteering due to the panic buy.  Hopefully those guilty will be reported by the public.
