Panic Buying (Again)
36 Answers
Maybe its a regional thing but I see *NO* evidence of it here in Stoke.
Shops full of toilet rolls, pasta, beans etc.
Where exactly is this panic buying going on?
Someone posted a link last night to my local paper, reporting on shop shortages. All well and good except...it isn't true!
I accept that some regions are experiencing shortages (going by what other ABers are reporting)
But is it really as bad as is been made out to be, and exacerbated by sensationalist reporting?
Think that the media have a lot to answer for if people really DO go short of anything.

The checkout operator advised that there was a queue when they opened this morning, but even so, we were able to buy toilet rolls and kitchen towels.
We bought the amount we would buy anyway - when the panic buyers are stocked up, stocks will return to normal, as they start running down their extra supplies, and the rest of us continue to shop normally.

I was in my local ASDA this morning. A pallet full of toilet rolls was brought out. It was stripped bare within about twenty seconds, the participants in this frenzy putting a shoal of piranahs to shame. I've never seen anything like it and I'm afraid the good citizens of this country have completely lost their marbles.
